We're only through lesson 31 and my DD can already read several BOB Books and she is eagerly trying to read anything she sees! It is very encouraging! :) We just use the book and I have been writing the words and sentences on index cards so they are easier to read for her (as opposed to from the pages of the book). However, I got a 1cent notebook from Staples that I'll be using now instead since there really are a lot of sentences now that she's reading. :) It'll be cheaper this way than using cards for sure! Anyway, another thumbs up for this curriculum! From what I've read up on it, by the time you complete the lessons, your child will be reading on a 4th grade level! I can't wait to see more progress in the program and it's so very painless for us! Most lessons to this point have taken less than 10 minutes, most under 5, mainly because she is so excited to be reading! This is what I’m using with my 4 year old DD and we are LOVING it!

Thanks for the review. I'm going to check this out even though I'm pretty sure of what we are using this next year, this may have the missing pieces that I'm looking for. Thanks!
