About -- Phonics
PLEASE! Trust modern phonics as the right system for your child for learning early reading! 'Phonics' is not just another '-ism'. It is the rational blend of everything that worked well about pre-60's 'phonetics' (approaches that were wrongly maligned and rejected for 50 years), especially earlier in the learning process, blended with what did work from 'whole-language' technique (how you were taught to read), such as your child's 'green' and 'red' word cards which are indeed supposed to learn as 'whole words'.
If you really learn how to 'sound out' the phonemes precisely the way your child is being taught them, so that you can give your child strictly accurate, gentle sound clues when needed as they decode each sound in each word, proceeding in lockstep with their class progress (not ignoring their 'red' and 'green' word lists, not jumping ahead etc), then you WILL accelerate your child's learning, probably dramatically.
If, instead, you cross your fingers that your child can use one method of learning to read at home and quite another method at school, doing so will slow their learning, perhaps equally dramatically.
Here is a good webpage about how these methods are used to each your child early reading:
