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.

Is it important to speak slowly and clearly with good phonics?
