I don’t think this explains 2015 versus 2025. Phonics started to get discouraged around 2000, and the pendulum has swung back hard the other way in the last 5 years, with the last holdout districts/states re-implementing phonics-based instruction.
If anything, I’d expect 2025 students to have had more experience with phonics in school than 2015 students.
