Reading groups are spoken aloud

We read the book to each other, a page at a time, and stop when there is something to say. Nobody has to have read ahead. The circle is open to —

  • people learning English — a slow, patient reading with the text in front of you.
  • performing artists — a text that rewards being voiced, and a room that listens.
  • silent listeners — you are welcome to come and never say a word.
  • readers who have tried alone — and put the book down at chapter three.

Fourth Way Book Readers wants to improve the structure of reading sessions, and believes Fourth Way philosophy fits that purpose.

Structure of a Meeting

A starting draft — edit it from Manage.

  1. Arriving. A few minutes of quiet before anything is said.
  2. Where we are. One person recalls, briefly, where the last reading stopped.
  3. The reading. Aloud, in turn, a page or a passage each. Anyone may pass and simply listen.
  4. The pause. Any listener may ask for a stop. The passage is read again before it is discussed.
  5. What was heard. Observations rather than opinions: what did the text say, and what did you notice while it was read?
  6. Closing. The page we reached is noted, and the next date is confirmed.
