Picture Collections of Jan 29th RAS.

Above are drawing from January 15 entitled; Going to Makkah. 3 rows below are from yesterday's RAS. In my humble opinion, they really wonderful. Kids are really creative if we let them be. Don't judge them, just let them use their own imaginations.


Kids and mums. Listening to Kak An's story.


Reader should always include listeners during Read Aloud. Be patient and cheerful so that our listeners will feel relax around us, especially during reading. 


Big books always a good choice for read aloud accept that they are not very easy to handle. Insya-Allah we'll find an easel for them later. For now, we try to manage by using another chair. 


Look at ikhwan, really absorbed in drawing the animals. Sorry, don't think I'm bias (Ikhwan's my nephew) but 2 other pics were not very good. 


Khairul Ikhwan's drawing.  

Drawing from RAS on January 15 and yesterday, January 29. Isn't it colourful and creative? If you would like to see the kids in action, just come along during RAS. Usually we organize RAS on Saturday 1st and 3rd week of every month (subject to changes). 

Big Books for Read Aloud.

The big book that we read. 'In the Tall, Tall Grass', priced at RM98.90. Worth it isn't it?


Kak An reading 'In the Tall, Tall Grass'. "Look! What is that?"..."Who knows how to make the sound of a bee?"... some of the Q.

We Really Have Fun at RAS

Hi and Assalamualaikum to all members and viewers.

Yesterday, 29-01-2005, we again met at Kidz Corner of Dar Nur al-Zahra' Islamic Community Library for Read Aloud Session. Last time we have 14 kids enjoying the session, yesterday we have 20 kids, including my 2 nephews who have never attend the session. Alhamdulillah, everybody seems to be having fun while they listen to the readers reading those wonderful books.
Kak An handled Group A (4 - 7) by reading 'In the Tall, Tall Grass' big book. I feel sorry looking at her trying to hold the book properly because it's quite big. Insya-Allah, Kak An...we'll practice more. Maybe next time, it would be easier. After reading, kids were given an unfinished drawing so that they can add some animals and insects that they have listen and look during reading session. After that they colored their pictures and I pasted them on our library's wall. Really nice and beautiful.

Kak Ina's reading 'Alfred'.
At the same time, Kak Ina handled Group B (8 - 12) by reading 'Alfred: The Long Trunk'. Wow! Everyone seems to be captivated by the story. After reading Kak Ina asked the kids to express their feeling by drawing. We called this method, Art Theraphy.
Salute Kak Ina!
