I do think schools make it harder for children to learn how they sound and the writing

Leannexxx they don't. It's because English is such a hard and confusing language to learn. Words often aren't written phonetically but you need to be know the sounds to decode the word

Jerseydrew I have to disagree with you sorry school couldn't get my oldest to read and yet I managed it and there is no need for the joined up writing it's very unlikely it's gonna get used in later life for most kids today

Jerseydrew Thanks for the word phonetically that would have taken me forever to find it in a dictionary when I was child.

I know they're not but it's like reading little riddles 🤣. Some are quite easy to understand but does make your brain work a little

Then you have words with more than two meanings, for example bat, bat the ball , bat the flying mammal and bat an eyelid

Rock, Rock the boat , Rock of stone, Rock band

Fair, Fair in colour, Fair as in fairground, Fair as in not being fair
