I agree with you TToes about the T4L being slow, at first; but now it is much quicker. I got impatient with the very slow directions with each step; but my son was slightly less impatient, and he liked it; so we stuck with it. I added other language arts writing and reading to it as well. But he likes reading from it; and he already has about 300 sight words (not due to it though). He picks up a few new words with every lesson. It teaches the rules though in a fun way - and he dislikes workbooks to learn from; so it works for us. Every kid is sooo different. Mine just likes a break from books, etc; so the computer is just a different tool.:) I heard that you can get it for $15/month if you pay for 6 months at a time too...haven't done it yet.
