The student needs to be able to associate the letter names with the note AND also needs to be able to associate the printed note directly to the fingering without having to think about the letter name. Judicious use of the note names should be beneficial. Perhaps written in under the first couple of measures or the first line only when a new note is introduce. You'll notice that a lot of good method books take this approach. However, a significant shortcoming of many method books is that they do not drill long enough on the new material that is introduced before moving on to the next item.

Ideally (yes I know this can't always be realized), teachers need to look at each student individually and attempt to determine how to approach teaching that person and tailor the course to the student.
