I was surprised by the copy and delete method, at first I thought it would be pointless and writing down notes would be better. After giving it a shot I enjoyed it, especially if I did not enjoy what I was reading. It seemed like it gave me a sense of finishing the story in steps instead of a drawn out read.
I will try the copy and delete method in the future. I have used the reading out loud method when I was younger because I would skip over a lot of information reading the stories in my head. I enjoy having a physical copy of the book and making annotations in the margin. I liked the Cat and Dog story, reminded me of a favorite childhood movie and really validated how I feel about cats.
