It's always easy and fun to teach children reading through synthetic systematic phonics methods which are backed by science like Jolly Phonics. Sight words reading is nothing but memorizing words which doesn't help children with reading and writing skills.

Why do letter names exist in parallel with their phonic sounds?
It goes back to the days of Latin, since unlike the Greek alphabet, which had actual names for its letters (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon etc.), it mostly took the sound that the letter stood for and if needed added an /e/ (short or long) to it.
