We’d been preparing for this for about a month: having the kids practice their lines in terms of pronunciation and showmanship. The idea of the class is to get the kids excited about reading…and how better to make it exciting than to act out (in dramatic or comedic fashion) what is being read!
It was fun seeing the kids act…some of them were really quite cute with their shy/excited performance. Some of them really got into their role and even memorized their lines.
I know that when I was a kid, I had a great deal of difficulty speaking in public…call it agoraphobia, but I would shake terribly when I was in front of a crowd. Seeing the kids do such a great job…as a Team Lead how could I not be proud!
Hopefully through this experience, the kids will be a bit more confident in their reading ability and associate feelings of excitement and fun with reading.
