Those are funny images. When I taught my kids, they didn’t use pictures (I didn’t have any), and we didn’t even associate sounds with words...we associated sounds with the letter combination that made up the sounds. A bit dry, but 6 weeks of dry learning before they’re 4 years old is a small price to pay for a life of easy reading.

That's about how long it took each of the kids.

They both fly through books.
