So each letter of the alphabet is associated with a specific sound. A few specials ones have two different sounds, but only 7 of them so it isnt too many.
When we see letters together without spaces, string the sounds of the letters together and stop to complete a word when their is a space.
I was taught "whole word" because of my speech impediment. I think it only made things worst for me. My daughter has the same issue so we sent her to a private school for 4 years that taught phonics. You wouldn't know she ever had a language issue unless she told you of her daily struggles with it.
Damn I wish I could read.

Whole word reading was designed to get you to accept whole concepts without being able to break them down into their components.
In other words, it's a brainwashing tool.
