Based on Faith Academy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Good evening Hive, I looked through some posts that were put on about this book a few months ago and I see that the people who posted said they had a hard time getting through it themselves. I have read the first couple chapters and surprisingly I got it!! I am wanting to have my son read through it this year. Actually, I have had him read the first few chapters. Then we went over it together. The WTM suggests having your dc read it and outline it from chapter 3 or 4 onward. Has anyone had their children do this? My ds is in ninth grade and he does need the added help understanding his reading. I am wondering how you went about having your dc outline it? Any thoughts at all would be appreciated. TIA... ~Christina~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Faith Academy Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I can understand... It started out real deep..I don't like deep reading where I actually have to think but it just clicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I love that book. My ds15 is reading it right now. He is not outlining it but it wouldn't be a bad idea. He will be doing the exercises in one of the appendices of the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan for us all to read "How to Read a Book" so this could mean the difference between finishing it and not :) Also, happy to support Maryalice by buying her book. She was incredibly helpful to us in Pennsylvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
