Increase in complexity

[honza]

I finally had time to sit down, and attempt to read through the available text.

The first two chapters were wonderful.

However, there seems to be a sudden increase in complexity in chapter 3. The material isn't accessible without further help. Does LLPSI offer some drawings at this point to aid with the new vocabulary (namely the verbs)?

I suppose what's missing is a number of things: pictures, margin notes, contextual helps. These are all things that LLPSI does, and which it's envisioned that LGPSI will do, but doesn't currently. Partly a function of trying to write some of the core text first, partly trying to figure out the best way to link/embed those kinds of help to the main text.

But your point is taken - I'm conscious that the text is not in and of itself self-explaining.

Perfect, thanks for the explanation. I was trying to position myself as a guinea pig but got stuck rather early on. Keep up the good work.

I can help with the technical side of things if needed.

My nine-year-old just asked me for chapter 2 because this book is so much fun. He's reading it now. He won't be able to continue with chapter 3 as it is. I'm reopening this so we can keep track of it.
