Hi PAdrummer,
I've got the book somewhere but it's been years since I worked in it so I don't remember the formatting of the reading. I will say though that I'm a huge proponet for lessons. Studying with a qualified teacher, even for just a short time, will help you tremendously. Do yourself a favor and get this reading thing knocked out. It's not that hard, just a little intimidating in the beginning. You will then be able to learn twice as fast on your own.
