I'd just keep on moving. The long slow pronunciation is to work on the correct sound, if she has it down fast don't stress on making her do it slow, she sounds like a typical 3 year old, so just follow her on this and try different subtle ways to pull her around on it. She could be just playing with you. I'd play back with her, maybe say everything fast just like her, try to go fast as you can and then go back to slow and slower for every word you say. Every sound of every word.
I am doing this book for the 3rd time (it has broken into pieces!)! to be honest I am not even follwoing any of the instruction but just working on him recognising the letters, words how to sound them out all using my own langauge and method to teach it. Makes for a more relaxed session and can adjust to the mood of the child!
I tried the writing portion with my son when he was 3yrs and 8ths but his fingers didnt have enough control over the pencil so I dropped that, he is now 4yrs and 3mths and just completed lesson 60 and we still arent writing. I have decided to leave it off for now, we are in the groove and his limit for paying attention on this is about 15-20mins, add the writing and it's too long. I'd suggest you consider if you need it at this stage.
