Graphemes at each colour book band level - done to death I'm sure!

DS is in Y2 and on Blue band but seems to have been reading through this level slowly but reasonably accurately for ages (middle of Summer term maybe? He does have 1:1 support so I know he's not as fast as the others).
He keeps bringing home books that have graphemes that I'm not sure he's done (I'm not sure he hasn't either - they are mainly fold out books, mainly Aus or NZ which I know hasn't got a great reputation for phonics, and they don't - unlike Biff and Kipper etc. - have the practice sounds on the back/inside the front).
I'm after a list of letter/sound pairings that he is SUPPOSED to know so I can do those as "remember you know this in this word, how about this other one?" and then I can just gloss over the ones he isn't supposed to know.

For example we "laugh" the other day and I can't work out if he's done that combo, or if I should just tell him and move on.
