Five Finger story retelling

 Today I found a way that American teachers used to teach primary school students: five finger retelling. After watching a few Youtube videos, I wanna try with Cele. Everyday I read stories for Cele and she remembers the story after we read it over and over again for many times. She has the eager to learn new things and able to learn at some degree.

We started with a short story about jack in the box. But the story is too short. We read another book, the ant and the grasshopper. I asked her who’s the characters in the book, where are they, on a tree or on the ground? After read the whole story, I retell the story together with her, the beginning, middle and end. She likes it a lot. She even played a acting game before dinner. She acted the ant who works hard and collected food in the summer. I am the grasshopper who is lazy at the beginning but learned to work hard at the end. We collected food together and share food.
