For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't know there's anything wrong with it.
Sure, but you’re still going to say the fourth word is “research” and not “study” or “reindeer”.
There was an example in a story about kids learning to read poorly (I don’t think this one) about how a kid reading about WW2 got that “Poland was invited by Germany” because they didn’t know the word invaded, so they dramatically misunderstood the history.
Seems like bullshit to me, but then I was brought up on the phonics system in the 70s. No clue what they’re teaching now.
Reality is probably a mix of phonics, predicting, and context.
For example, this bit:

I didn’t even realize they were out of order until Cambridge.
This is fascinating.
