Oh, I distinctly remember reading Chaucer out loud in class. I went after “Bob”. Teacher: “Bob, well done! Great accent!” I read. Teacher: “And…next!” XD

In reply to Krysta.

Oh man, I remember having to read out loud in class and hating it, I can only imagine how nerve wracking reading Chaucer would have been!
I think I’m starting to pick up the actual stories, it’s not perfect but it’s definitely a step in the right direction, which makes me proud!

In reply to Whimsically Meghan.

I love the image of your friend doing a dramatic reading! But I do agree that when you are reading, then you might be focused more on reading well than absorbing the text. I know when we went around in school each reading a part of the textbook out loud, I always had to read my part over again when I was finished, because I was too focused on not mispronouncing anything or faltering–I was worried about looking silly in front of my classmates.

In reply to Spines in a Line.

Oh that sounds like it would be SO helpful!
Right now I’m just going in blind it feels, but I’ve been looking up the Sparknotes after I read a tale to make sure I’m getting what’s being said!

In reply to Elli @ AceReader.

Yes! It’s 100% a thing, and it’s actually really good! If you watch it, you’ll have to let me know, I’d love to chat with you about it!
Thank you! I hope you have an amazing month, too! 💜

In reply to Janette.

That’s a very fair and true point! Everything was spoken word back in the day!
That’s good to hear, I haven’t gotten to either of those tales yet, but I’m looking forward to read more – it is getting lightly easier now that I’ve read some, and I’m getting used to the way it’s told. I’m hoping once I read more, it’ll get even more easier!

In reply to Krysta.I've heard about reading it out loud. I've given it a try, but I still get a little lost in the words and not the story. I laughed at the dramatic reading, when I bought the book, one of my best friends did exactly that! I do have to say, it is getting a little easier to read because I'm getting used to the way it's told.You're very welcome!
