How do the whole word and phonics approaches to reading differ?
The whole language approach, which emphasized identifying words using literary context and barely focusing on sounds, could not be reconciled with the phonics focus on individual sounds' correspondence to letters and letter combinations.

Do phonics work? How does a native speaker know the words?
Yes, but don't expect it to be that significant. Part 1: As applied to English, “phonics” refers to associating spelling patterns with pronunciation. For the most part, this is indeed how native speakers learn to read and write English.
