Delightful Reading Concerns

I am so glad I read this thread! I originally was going to order Delightful Reading for my 5 year old, but then was swayed by my own doubts (“Will the reading selections be too challenging for a beginning reader?”) coupled with some negative comments I had read on another forum.  So I bought Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for the Code plus Explode the Code Book 1 on the recommendation of someone.  I haven’t used them yet as we haven’t officially started school, but in the meantime, I began teaching my daughter some sight words (color words–red, yellow) using letter tiles in a manner very similar to what I had seen in the DR intro video.  My daughter loved our mini lesson!  She was so excited that she could read the words and even could spell them after I had placed all the letter tiles back in alphabetical order.  Now I am thinking that I should have just bought DR in the first place!
