Explode the Code scope and sequence?

I'm looking for a workbook to supplement DS4's phonics, but the scope/sequence for ETC is a bit vague (the one I found, anyway). It says Book 1 is consonant review and short vowels?

 

He knows his letter sounds and blends two letter blends very well (CV blend); he's progressing nicely into CVC words. He does NOT know long vowels or short E and we haven't tried CC blends.

 

Would I buy Book 2 or Book 3?

If you look at the table of contents for each book on cbd.com, it gives you a more detailed breakdown. You would definitely want to go with book two rather than book three, because book two does a very good job with consonant blends. In fact, you might even want to start with book one to get him used to the format and get hi solid on Cvc words and short e before moving on.

I would start with Book 1. The consonant review is just 3 pages at the beginning. You then move into cvc lessons for the rest of the book.

 

Book 2 works with ccvc and cvcc words. 

 

Book 3 works with long vowels(silent e and one-syllable ending in vowel), sh, th, ch, wh, ng, ck, tch, ee-ea, ai-ay, oa-ow.

 

ETA: If he flies through Book 1, you could skip Book 2. There isn't much new there for a kid who gets it. I did that with one of mine. But I wouldn't want to jump into 2 in your situation.
