Reading out loud is a great way to get better at English. It is proven to help you recognize and say words quicker. It'll increase your confidence as well because you will be able to read and speak the words faster, so there will be a smaller chance of you mispronouncing a word, or stuttering.  

大声を読み上げることは、英語力を上げるための素晴らしい方法です。 それは、あなたが言葉を素早く認識して言うのを助けることが証明されています。 単語をすばやく読んで話すことができるので、あなたの信頼がさらに高まります。そのため、誤った単語や吃音の可能性が低くなります。

So for today's lesson, let's try read out loud the story of Alice and Humpty Dumpty. This story can be found at the end of the New Crown 1 textbook, starting on page 126. When you begin, start slowly and read out loud one sentence at a time. Your device ( smart phone or PC ) will record what you say inside the text box.  

今日のレッスンでは、アリスとハンプティ・ダンプティの話を大声で読んでみましょう。 このストーリーは、New Crown 1教科書の126ページから始まる。始めるときは、ゆっくり、一度に大きな文章を読み上げて。 あなたのデバイス（スマートフォンまたはPC）は、テキストボックスの中にあなたが言うことを記録します。

Let's read Alice and Humpty Dumpty

Hello everyone and welcome back to school. Today’s post is to explain a few things that have changed. 

First, the site is ranked very high on Google Search for numerous keywords. ( Yay! me \(o.o)/ ) the picture below shows the site on the first page for keywords using New Crown. 

Second, there is a search bar at the top of the home page. This will search the site for any keyword or phrase you enter in either English or Japanese.

​Third, you can now practice English pronunciation on the site. Simply press ‘はじめ’ and start talking or reading English text on the site. Practice makes perfect.

​Fourth, you now have a direct point of contact with me, if you need my help, send me a message using chat.  

Fifth, text on the site is now color coded.  Blue text are links to other pages on the site, the blue text will change to green when you hover over it.

Sixth, 暗記ゲーム,all start on match mode. 

These are major changes that I made over the spring break.
