What books are your year one or two kids using for reading and writing?

I was just wondering if someone with kids in year one or two would mind telling me what series of textbooks your kids are using for reading? We live in Germany and they can read German OK now, they want to read stuff in English and they can make a fair stab at it but they don't know the consonant clusters (ch, sh, ph etc) and I don't know how to start them with the whole through/though/enough/plough nonsense Grin I don't want to be giving them English homework but I thought I could take a look through a book myself and then maybe just give them a cheat sheet of the main bits that are different.

Just story books or short non fiction books. Look on book people and search by age and loads of options will pop up

Thanks but they already have tons of English books, what I'm looking for specifically is help for me to see how reading and writing is taught in English so I can point out to them the bits that are nonstandard/ different to German.

Read Write Inc do a couple of packs of phonics flashcards which are pretty good

My ds is in year 2 and his school use both oxford reading tree and Project X reading schemes. Even though the bands are supposed to be similar I alway think the Project X books are more challenging.
