Phonics (reception)

So my ds has just started reception and is halfway through his 3rd week (2nd of full days). On Monday he brought home a phonics exercise book with 2 sounds to learn, complete with the actions that go with them: 'e' and 'l'. He knows his sounds pretty thoroughly, but am happy to go along with things as the school see fit, especially as he doesn't know any of the actions that they do along with the sounds to help.

My question is...when should I expect more sounds? I was hoping for more today but alas there are no more in his book. How quickly should they be working through these sounds? Is 2 a week a bit slow? Will they be doing other sounds in class?

I'm not trying to be pushy I just genuinely don't know how quickly things should progress as ds is my first.

I think the whole class sessions started at phase 3 but his reading book is pitched from his individual sessions where he is consolidating blending CVC independently (as he quite likes to rely on someone reading the sounds out for him to blend).
