Phonics and NYC concerns the dramatic switch in May 2023 of the largest school system in the United States -- New York City -- to learning how to read by phonics.
Phonics was advocated by Phyllis Schlafly beginning in the late 1950s, more than a half century ago.
This was prompted by how half of the schoolchildren in 2023 are unable to read at their grade level.
"Lesson plans will have a new focus on phonics, rather than the current method that relies more on the use of pictures."[1]
