N likes to perform, as some may know.  One day he was performing as usual for our Japanese exchange students.  The students were mesmorized by his performing and adults.  One adult was so mesmorized she asked if he could perform or read something at a Martin Luther King Day celebration.  So for days I thought of how I could make this assignment simplistic for me to put together for him.  Ah, I went onto Unitedstreaming.com and found a video segement that someone had put together on Martin Luther King for elementary age children.  N watched this video that had about 4 segments.  The segments were very short, no more than 2 minutes each.  After the first segement, I had him recite to me what he had heard in the clip.  He recited back good enough for his little attention span.  Then, an idea came to me to have him recite what he viewed to me, and I would type just what he recited back.  N really enjoyed doing that activity.  I would be typing along, and he'd be reading over my shoulders.  And if I didin't get something the way he wanted it, He'd tell me to do it a different way.  So anyways, we typed it up, and I am having him practice reading it in place of doing his regular reading, which takes about 10 minutes.
