The CD is a little on the annoying side after a while but for your child's sake I would say grin and bear as it really pays off and don't worry too much if you are making all these strange movements (while the car is standing still of course) and the passing drivers give you strange looks, as it is really worth it. My son was reading fluently by the second term of school. Highly recommend it. ...
