With this method, I learned to read to my son who was 5 years old and was in kindergarten last year (December). As he was bored and did not want to go to school I started with this book. It read 1/4 hour in the morning before going to school and in 15 days he read fluently. I taught him the basics of computing and also so he made no CP and is less bored at school. So I'll buy it for my granddaughter who just turned 4 years and claims "syllables" ... she knows the basic ma, me, mi, mo, mu ... pa ... ta .. . and for a small ce1 to whom I give support courses and who can not yet read fluently.
