Given every two years to a sample of America's children, the National Assessment of Educational Progress is considered one of the best gauges of the academic progress.

One thing that can be done is for parents to read books to young children and begin teaching phonics and reading at home before a child goes to school. A love of learning to read starts at home. Parents can play games like showing a child a sign along the road and helping the child "sound it out" ie phonics. My kids made a game of trying to say the words on trucks, signs and such when we traveled.😇
I agree with both you and Kris about phonics. A daughter of my friend wanted to read a book to me. It was very clear within three pages that she was not learning phonics but rather memorizing words on sight because she could not sound out the first word she forgot. I had no idea this was going on until that experience. It was very sad because I love reading and still remember the Letter People and Hooked on Phonics.
The garbage you reference is called "Whole Language" and they tried implementing it in my city when my kids were young. Myself and another gentleman fought it and they brought back the phonics .
