Actually---English goes by 3's. Consonant-vowel-consonant. The best readers can spot these combos fast and divvy even an unfamiliar word in a hurry, pronouncing it by units. I've seen people who were taught by whole-word recognition, and they're at a considerable disadvantage when confronting new words, because they have to figure a paradigm, and THAT's a complex operation. If you learn the 3-letter method, you can sightread anything and sound out the syllables. The trick to it is knowing that certain combined letters [th, rh, sh] and all dipthongs [oe, ae, ue] are 'a' letter.

same goes for music, sightreading music as well, just looking at the note on the staff and you can instantly figure out the key. spent 9 yrs. in choir! lol :D

Ya, isn't that called Phonics? Ah, but yes. I will back up what you are saying. My wife is a whole word recognizer and she has a lot of trouble reading new things or advanced things. There is no way that she would be caught dead reading my old text books. But on the other hand she is trying and starting to learn phonics at her own pace by herself.
