This page carries the whole of As We Go by Charles Dudley Warner, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #3107, a public-domain edition, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains.

How is As We Go divided for reading?

Rather than presenting As We Go as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 230 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The 8 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.

Can I hear As We Go read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of As We Go can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of As We Go can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
