Mini-Play

Watching your kid in a play is always fun to watch. Ryan's Reading Specialist teacher invited me to watch him participating a mini play. He and his group have been working hard on reading especially on reading comprehension. This is the most important of reading comprehension in order to be able to understand the questions for the test.

Just a day before Ryan's mini play, Ryan came up to me that he loved the book, "If a Mouse Eats a Cookie." I sure was glad he understands that it is a funny book. He also learned that it is a fiction. That is one of the important aspects for the first graders.

He also learned to read the cues when it is time to pick up the "cookies" from the floor. I personally thought it was cute to watch him in a mini- play.

When it was his turn to read, he looked out for the highlight words. The teachers changed the words for his reading level. I thought it was one of the brilliant ideas to promote him to read at a higher level among the reading comprehension.

Ryan has come a long way. it wasn't very long ago that you were blogging that he started crying from stage fright because he had to go onto a stage and speak in front of other people. Good job... CC/mom
