Disgusted with this article - more phonics bashing!

This article beggars belief - starting off with comments about an 'exam' culture and ending up clearly blaming phonics and phonics interventions for six year olds!
What!
I've left a 'readers' comment - the third one so far:

There are three levels of anti-phonics hype:
Phonics detractors (my usual preferred term)
Phonics denialists (Andrew Old's preferred term)
Phonicsphobics (closer to the truth perhaps).
