Peaceful reading

We read for approximately 15 minutes, then take a short break and talk about the text, then we read for another 15 minutes.

 

During this time we listen respectfully. If you have to leave to use the bathroom etc, do it quietly. Don't disturb the rest of the group.

 

If there are words or sentences that you don't understand in the text, let us know so we can figure them out together.
