I went to bed early last night and Steve was reading TTT. He told me he wasn't really getting into it...could really grasp what was happening. I ended up reading snips of the White Rider to him and read all of Helm's Deep to him, starting with when Gandalf told Theoden to get rid of his cane.
I think he got a better understanding of it from my reading. He is dyslexic (though much better since he learned how to read using basic phonics...he learned teaching Matthew!) Still, reading is hard for him.
Storm comin'! Gotta get offline.
