In my opinion, those phonically difficult words are explained in Programme 2 "oo" sound and "ea" sound "e" short sound and "e" long sound, I would have a jump to tell the story about these word in order to explain these words.
In the view of children they won't know which part should be learn first and which parts are in Programme 2, so they are just some funny stories, it won't make any different to them.
BTW, when I taught about [size=medium]"when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking" to my daughter, I use the Between the Lions songs to explain it, and it wonderful, please note the following link:

[size=medium]When Two Vowels Go Walking

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
In "boat" you hear the "o" and not the "a"

In "meat" you hear the "e"
The "a" sits quietly
The second vowel you see but you don't say

But...
Shh!

Just the two of us together
In "train" and "pail" and "rain"
The "a" speaks up; the "i" does not
But...
Shh! Let me explain

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
In "brain" you hear the "a" but not the "i"

In "soap" the "o" is clear
The "a" you never hear
In "say" you say the "a" and not the "y"

But...
Shh! Isn't it neat?
But...
Shh! It can't be beat!
But...
Shh! It's such a dream!

Don't mean to boast
But here's a toast
We're quite a team!

When two vowels go walking
The first one does the talking
I'm sorry, number two, it's such a shame

Although it gives you pain
The rule is very plain
When two vowels walk
The first one says its name!

But...
Shh!

Yes, when two vowels walk
The first one says its name!

Dear Maria,
Nice to see you again. I have printed out your picture code cards you posted here for use. thanks.

I have one question. if our kids is in traditional school their dictation does not follow the level of phonic they have taught. They would have to dictate phonically difficult words like 'foot', 'teach'.

What you suggest if he come across phonically difficult word that he has to dictate? How i can taught him to dictate such words?
