The Old Testament or the Gospels are among some of the easiest OE texts to read. It helps to listen to texts too.
The story of the Miracle at Cana read in Old English, from an Anglo-Saxon translation of the Gospels: youtube.com/watch?v=DLJ7n0…
A good progressive order of reading OE is the texts in Henry Sweet's 1905 (kindle) then those in Mitchell and Robinson's Guide to OE.
havelok.slack.com Not exactly Old English but a discussion of something that's pretty close. 2 langs @ once strengthens broca's area
The Canterbury Tales. Reading The Canterbury Tales? Talk about it on Facebook group by the same name. Comments, sources, questions, joy!
Book club fans! The Old English Book Club on Facebook is reading and discussing Richard Marsden's Cambridge Old English Reader. Come join!
I think it's sound to read something you already know in a foreign language. CS Lewis did w/ Homer; Krashen reads Star Wars thus. Resaearch?
Extensive outside class reading in a foreign lang. can't contribute to vocab. knowledge much, except if a reading diary is kept. -John McRae
Our objective in learning OE is reading proficiency in it. Agree or disagree?

According to Clark+Mayer, information should be presented in bite-sized pieces. When is the last you saw that in dead lang. learning ed.?
Because of earlier note that ~4 individual probs. related to a new concept suffices (Mayer), I now skip ahead instead of doing 25! Stamina+!
Common misconception: learning more than one language at a time will mess you up. Opposite is true, I believe. Can anyone cite research?
According to Clark, Mayer, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction (2011), 3-4 exercises per concept taught is sufficient. More=overlearnt
