How to read along
A slow habit in four parts
Nobody does all four every week. Do the ones you can.
Step 1 of 4
Read it out loud on Tuesday
Before you listen. Hearing your own voice slows you down and you notice words you'd skip.
Step 2 of 4
Listen once, all the way through
In the car, the barn, the break room. Use the chapter times to go back to a part you missed.
Step 3 of 4
A few verses a day
Five minutes with the day's verses and one of the three questions from the reading note.
Step 4 of 4
Say it to someone
A spouse, a friend or a listening group. Saying it out loud is how it sticks.

Questions
About reading along
Which translation should I use?
Whatever you'll actually read. We read the King James aloud because it's public domain and sounds good spoken, and we compare it with three or four modern translations on air.
I fell three series behind. Where do I start?
This week. The archive will still be there. Most people who catch up do it by listening to one old episode alongside the new one.
Is there a printed version?
Yes. The reading note is printable, and large-print transcripts are on the Episodes page.
Can I use your notes in my Sunday school class?
Please do. Just say where they came from.
