Hagbard, I don't think you can skip learning to read the traditional way. Although you don't have to stop with the traditional way. I play on teaching my kids PR when they get to be about 12 years old.
It's the same think with learning a foreign language by PRing a dual language dictionary. You might be able to read the other language, but if you've never heard it before or learned the phonic rules for that language you're not likely to speak it well.
