Did any of you folks do the old "SRA Reading Laboratory" stuff?
It didn't just test your reading ability but your level of comprehension... Splendid stuff!
I think that was the point that the previous Mrs Xerxes was making. She thinks phonics is a good system but it is not a standalone solution. She is concerned that the current NL target chasing obsession means that teachers are being encouraged to pursue phonics to the exclusion of all else so that the school can parade children who can read out loud words off a page and get a tick in the inspector's box, but the kids haven't got a clue what they'd just read out meant (which she quite rightly thought was somewhat missing the point of why we teach kids to read).
