Did you learn phonics in school?

We do, and even those have rules. Not phonetic rules though

I didn’t, for me it was “Ai, Bee, See, Dee, Eee, Eff, Jee” (except in my local language Danish). My children all learnt phonics in their U.K. school and it’s taught them to read 5x faster I’d say).

I learned on the 90s.

Long after I learned to read. At which point it was just confusing since so many words can't be 'sounded out'.

I learned to read alongside learning to speak, learned it like a language, not like a code, I didn't really sound things out consciously, it went in the other direction, I recognized words. So by 3 years I could read quite well, and did come by that path to an understanding that the individual letters had sounds.

Like if you've ever seen a little kid learning to write, they start with just scribbles then lines of scribbles then clumps of "letters" then actual words with letters. That is sort of the process I had - books held stories, then I saw there was writing, then my mom read the stories while pointing to the words, then I pretended I could read by memorizing the book, but then just jumped to being able to read. Anything. Like first book was "bears on wheels" but second book was Grendel, and I could read the newspaper, literally think I could understand written language more than spoken.

So anyway - yes was taught phonics but not taught to read with phonics.
