DS has started doing phonics at school and I'm looking at getting him some flash cards to practice at home.
He has some cards from speech therapy which we use to practice sounds and these look like a similar sort of thing.
I remember one of the cards at his school having a ship on it which according to Google, Jolly Phonics doesn't so I think there must be several different schemes, even if the sounds are mainly the same. Are there many differences between Jolly Phonics and the Usbourne ones for example? Which are good?
His teaching assistant said they just followed the general scheme when I asked but I don't want to confuse him by showing him different pictures to the ones they are learning at school. Will this matter so long as the sounds are the same?
I have asked for a copy of the cards they use in school but they haven't been forthcoming so I'm wondering if perhaps this isn't something they encourage. Or perhaps I'm overthinking and they have forgotten and I just need to ask again!
Is anyone in the know? It was Letterland in my day so I'm feeling very behind the times.
