I’m reading CM’s first book, Home Education. At the bottom of p. 230, she says, “The habit of ‘minding your stops’ comes of intelligent reading. A child’s understanding of the passage will lead him to correct pointing.”
What does that mean in English? LOL Specifically, “minding your stops” and “correct pointing?”
Well, I believe that in Britain “stop” is what they call a period. So, I would think that, “minding your stops” would mean “pay attention to where the periods are”. This is what I think, anyways. I could be wrong. Maybe someone else who has studied the books more will be able to chime in.
But I am not sure how to explain “correct pointing”. ??? Sorry!
I found the paraphrase of that paragraph in AO’s CM Series in Modern English:
“The habit of paying attention to punctuation comes naturally if children read with understanding. If a child understands what he’s reading, he will have no problem knowing how to read the punctuation.”
If you’d like to see the entire section from that series, you can read it by clicking here. You can read the entire CM Series in its original form or paraphrased in modern English on Ambleside Online’s website.
HTH,
Sue
