Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood LIVEApril 27 at 2:00 and 5:30 PMFox Theatre-Detroit
The grr-ific musical for little tigers and grown-ups alike is back! Young fans and their families will get to experience Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, the hit Emmy-nominated PBS KIDS series, in an all new way!
The can’t-miss live stage show, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood LIVE! King For A Day, comes to the Fox Theatre for two performances on Saturday, April 27 at 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
In Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood LIVE! King For a Day, audiences “ride along” on an exciting adventure as Daniel learns what it takes to be king.
Produced by Fred Rogers Productions and Mills Entertainment, the engaging, full-scale musical production is filled with magical moments and sing-along fun, and features favorite characters from the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. It’s “royally” a good time for the whole family!
The first TV series inspired by the iconic, award-winning Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood stars 4-year-old Daniel Tiger, who invites young viewers into his world, giving them a kid’s-eye view of his life. One of the key ingredients that makes the series a standout is its
groundbreaking use of catchy musical strategies, grounded in Fred Rogers’ social-emotional curriculum, that reinforce each theme and that preschoolers and parents can sing – and use together – in their daily lives.

Schools nationwide will come together to celebrate March is Reading Month to spread awareness of the importance of reading each and every day! I bet many of you are volunteering to read to your child's class! There are many ways to make reading fun but before I dive in on all the fun ways to make reading fun...I'd like to share these eye opening stats.
When I first read this I was alarmed. It made me realize how important it is to read every single day. The more we read, the more we learn. The more we learn, the more we can achieve. The more we can achieve, the more we can make a difference.
'
I have to remind myself that reading can be done in so many different ways. For an example, my daughter is into reading to me and she is 3. She's not reading the words but she is looking at the pictures and telling me a story based on the pictures. This is reading and it is fun! It is also a great way to develop vocabulary.
As an English Language Development Specialist (sounds fancy huh!) but in light I'm a teacher of English. I've found that reading comprehension begins with good reading strategies. These strategies may include using pictures for clues, stopping mid text to go back and reread for understanding, and making connections while reading. We all can learn to become great readers as long as we practice reading!
Below I've shared some ways to encourage reading at home and make it fun. After all reading is for fun!
Clap out Syllables
If you come across a word that is long and needs to be broken down into syllables...clap it out!Example dinner ( 2 claps), holiday ( 3 claps)
Stop and Make Connections while Reading
Good readers can make connections with characters and settings within the book. If the setting is at a park, stop and a talk about a time when you were at the park. Kids love to talk about their past experiences and it helps students connect to the book which improves comprehension as you read.
Role Play Characters
When we role play characters through movement and play, we are improving our vocabulary. We are also retelling the book which develops our comprehension as readers.
Recently, I've read the book The Mitten with my children. After I read the book aloud to them, they took turns retelling the book using animal characters from the book. This was a great way to add play to our daily reading. My daughter had so much fun that now she always asks to read the book and role play using her barn animals.
Create a Reading Space
Do you have a special reading space in your home? If not, consider making a little reading nook area. I've seen many cute reading spaces with little home libraries on Pinterest. Gather some fun pillows, bean bag chairs, a lamp, book shelves, and create a fun area. Then dive into a good book.
If you just want to make if fun for the month of March, pitch a little tent in the basement or play area with sleeping bags and snuggle together and read.

Read Wordless Picture Books
Many advanced readers forget how wonderful picture books are. The illustrations are enjoyable for everyone, including adults. When using picture books, readers can expand their thinking and vocabulary as they "tell" the story using their own creative thinking.
A few of my favorite books are Fossil by Bill Thomson and Flashlight by Lizi Boyd.
Visit your Public Library
During March many public libraries host special events in honor of March is Reading Month. It is also fun to go and check out books. I am amazed at what libraries have to check out. Recently we fond Vox books which is audio books that read to the child. This is great for early readers and English Learners.
