Rod and Staff Phonics.
It’s the Mennonite publishing house and is supposed to be for 1st and 2nd grade, but the second grade material is pretty advanced.
And read to the kids. One of the best ways to get kids to read is to spend time reading to them.
And there it is. And yet all the Ph.D's in the US education system can't figure it out.

I could read by age 4 and became a rabid reader by age 7 with my father’s written permission to check out adult books.
My parents read to me. I watched, listened, and made the connection. In school (1948>>) it was phonics and sounding out words.
To this day, I *know* words I have never heard pronounced. Luckily, now on the internet, you can find audio pronunciation.
Like Jamestown, there were few euphemisms in our home (my mom had a few for bodily functions). Scientific, biologic and anatomical words were used. Slang was forbidden (so, of course, we loved it).
