Slowing down a speed reader
There's one book on this term's schedule that I know Dollygirl is going to try to rush through and say that she's read it. In fact, she "read" the first chapter in about ten minutes, when I think it took one of her sisters about three weeks.
Looking over the next chapter, I notice that it mentions several Christian symbols found in the Roman catacombs; but you have to read carefully to find out which ones. So next week's reading will be accompanied by a sheet of paper headed "Symbols of Faith" and divided into boxes, on which she will be asked to draw the symbols that are mentioned. (Something I learned from the mama in All-of-a-Kind Family.)
