About Oak Tree Reading

I am excited you're here!

​

Oak Tree Reading was created with the mission to help all readers get more from what they read.

​

So often in our busy lives, we start off reading with the best of intentions only to find ourselves rushing through books and quickly forgetting everything we read. No longer! This interactive material takes you from being a passive learner to an active learner.

​

About Our Reviews

We have all had that experience of enthusiastically starting a new book only to realize partway through that it's not what we were expecting. The purpose of the book reviews is not to judge whether the book is "good" or "bad." The goal is to help you decide whether or not it is a good book for you.

​

I attempted to contrast my review style from the typical style you read in most reviews. I try to form a more objective way of sharing what the experience will be like to read the book, rather than my opinion of it's contents. My goal is to help you decide if it's what you want to read.

​

Whenever I write a review or workbook I try to keep three things in mind:

​

 1. Am I accurately portraying the information as the author intended? If the author reads this review, would they feel it was a fair assessment and analysis of the message they were attempting to communicate?

​

2. Am I writing in a way that is clear to the reader? My goal is for anyone, no matter their background or education level to gain value from what I do.

​

3. Is this the most high quality content I can provide? You may notice some changes as you read through older or newer material I have published. This is because I am constantly challenging myself to create a better version of what I have done in the past.
