As I mentioned before, Rosetta Stone breaks down each lesson into multiple activities. Each lesson has one activity of each type, with a selection of different activities from previous lessons added in. So, you may be doing "Lesson 3 Reading" and "Lesson 2 Reading" in Lesson 3.
The Reading activity is alright. It's focused on sets of slides distinguishing between two similar syllable sounds. In some cases, this makes more sense, for example "ale" vs "alle". In others, "Noi" vs "Voi", they are pretty distinguishable already. I like the part where you get to speak phrases that include these syllables. I think the part where you hear the syllable and select which printed syllable matches the sound makes sense, but includes too many repetitions of the syllables. The parts where you hear a sentence and select the correct written syllable to fill in the blanks is also alright. The part where they read all the syllables and you have to match to the written syllable is excessive to me. Overall, I think "Reading" is a decent activity. Slightly less repetition within the slides themselves would be good.
