I started the school year with this book because of the positive reviews it received on Amazon.com.  The first few lessons seemed really boring to me but by Lesson 5 I understood why it was important to teach in this strange style.  We just finished Lesson 15 today and my 5-year-old is actually starting to read and my 3-year-old is speaking better.  WOW!!  I can’t wait to see what the results will be after Lesson 30.   Will my 5-year-old really be a solid reader after 100 lessons?  I’ll keep you posted.
