Don Potter, after many years of involvement in the reading wars, seems to consistently favor Blend Phonics.
There are many excellent programs, so far as I can tell. Anything teaching “systematic phonics” is good. But Don Potter’s recommendation of Blend Phonics carries a lot of weight.
He is, by the way, a schoolteacher and reading tutor in Texas.

He says on the site he has a number of good programs he can recommend but he likes Blend Phonics because it's free.
I learned to read by ITA in a public school in the '60s - my whole class were speed readers. I agree it's probably not the best of all methods, though.

Once they know the sounds they try to read by themselves. One of mine with a few basics b and oo spells BOO which must mean that b-o-o-k spells bouquet. Lol this particular grown child of mine I know still reads. Not sure about the others but this one does read books or are they bouquets? Lol
