Build a reading-nearby ritual

Agree that reading together can mean separate books and little conversation.

Try this

  1. Choose a shared place and a short period when both want to read.
  2. Agree whether interruptions or sharing a passage are welcome. Keep separate books, different reading speeds and an early ending all acceptable.

A worked example

“We can each read our own thing and share a line only if we want.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Do not require a summary or matching pace for the activity to count.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
