I'm 44 and I don't remember being taught phonics, but I also read at 4 so maybe I wasn't shown phonics? Or maybe it was so new then that it wasn't where I lived at. The first time I had heard about it was when my DD24 was in 1st grade, she came home from school with the system to improve her reading. Got to admit it helped.
