I've been doing simultaneous reading audiobook and ebook at the same time for at least five years. My reading speed is a discussion for another day

I love reading and there are times I do have to read a page again and again! Then there’s times I just can’t put the book down and like you read it over the weekend!

Enjoyed this! Love it even more hearing your voice! It makes me feel so connected as if you were right here with me by my side 🥰 I think a Personal Puzza sounds so good today 🍕

Woz you was spot on with me with my reading style. I’m not alone in my style. Hee hee! Sometime pages get read 3 for times, lol!! Now I ready for the 3 Some Method. I never done that before!! Here I go and everyone is ready! Headphones, book and my yummy pan pizza.

Thanks for you post. I will grab that Stephen King novel off the Shelf.

Happy Thanksgiving Woz

Woz! I loved hearing your VOICE 🙌🏼 I just looked up Book It, it is still running, pass me a personal pan pizza 😆 I also have a similar reading style when reading physical books, reading and re-reading pages. Audio books are my jam, I love listening and re-listening. It's a joy as an audio learner. I also love closed captions. I do this on my Zoom meetings ❤️ xo Carla

All these different styles are making me so happy! Until this version of reading happened, I actually thought audiobooks weren’t for me (particularly with fiction) because if I missed something, I got frustrated. “Wait. What happened? How far back should I rewind? I went too far back! UGGGHHH.” It was a whole thing. So physical book + audiobook = perfect pairing for me. :)

I do this too! Often I do it to get started on an audio book or with books that feel ‘hard’ but you have me intrigued to try it with everything!

It's such a breath of fresh air realizing there's no one “right” way to read!

I used to be one of those people who could devour a book over a weekend, but that changed a couple of years ago. Now I read in "bite-sized pieces," a chapter or two at a time.

Reading let's us show up how we need to show up. Just another reason why it's such a beautiful activity.

What a wonderful idea. I want to try it. Thank you. When I taught third grade in the long ago time, my team partner and I would read to our class. Some of the kids would get copies of the book and read along. They were ahead of the game. :)

Oh, I love knowing folks (especially kids!) have been doing this sort of thing for a while. I really do think there's something that clicks in this way

You and I are of similar tastes! I love reading and listening along. Now, I have a great phrase to use, too. I love how you describe it as “reading with (closed captions)!”

It's really, honestly changed everything for me. I wonder how many of us are out there?
