    <body><![CDATA[This really is an amazing book.  I went through it with Alyse the summer after kindergarten to help boost her reading skills.  It was just what she needed.  I'm currently going through it with Dallin so he'll have it completed before starting kindergarten.  The method of teaching used in the book re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41302859">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was recommended by some friends who've used it with their children.  My 4 1/2-year-old has gone through lesson 50 and is really becoming a reader!<br/><br/>This book gives you a script for each lesson, making it very easy to go through them.  Each lesson takes 7-15 minutes, depending on how w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71129555">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this when my daughter was about 3.5 and we've been working through it at a snail's pace. I wait until she brings it to me and we do as much of a lesson as she wants - I don't push her.

    <body><![CDATA[This is definitely one of those books which will get mixed reviews as what works for one child may not necessarily work for another.  Also, it is in &quot;distar&quot; format, which can look quite foreign to some.  This book, however, worked wonderfully with my 1st grader!
