Jumping ship with our phonics; already sounding out CVC... what to switch to? (m)

I made the mistake of purchasing an all-in-one type program for our kindergarten year. DS isn't enjoying it much. He's sounding out CVC words, but isn't fluent yet but he doesn't make any mistakes either.

We are not going to go with the 1st grade program which continues the phonics.

I'd like to move us to a new program after the Christmas holidays.

I'm especially looking at Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading and thinking we could just go through the first lessons quickly as a review and then move forward.

Any other suggestions?
