Reading is an essential and rewarding lifelong skill, but unlike learning to speak, learning to read is not natural.
The process of encoding
(writing the letter code for the sounds of spoken English)
and decoding (reading the letter code)
needs to be explicitly taught.
Phonemic awareness (awareness of the sounds of language) and sound-letter correspondences can be taught in isolation, or, to accelerate reading success, they can be integrated efficiently while word building.

For some, learning to read seems effortless, while others need lots of practice, but 95% of people can be taught to read

learn the 44 sounds (phonemes)
learn the corresponding letter(s) (graphemes)
segment, blend and manipulate letter-sounds to read and write words
