Over the Summer a really great group of teachers got together on a special Japanese forum and very kindly translated nearly all of the 100 or so Reader’s Games on the site. Today I got the last 40 of them up on the site and ready to go. If you’re an ALT, simply print out the Japanese page for your JTE. And for Japanese teachers who are panicked about teaching on their own it’s now probably the biggest and most useful collection of Japanese games on the net. So thank you very much, enjoy and keep them coming! Games Page ( in Japanese)

On a different note I also put up a version of the “What’s your favourite food?” picture book with a narration. I’m thinking that this may help out parents who aren’t too comfortable with their own pronunciation. But any feedback on how I’ve implemented it would be much appreciated. As usual, if it turns out to be popular I’ll spend more time on it.

And don’t worry, I’ve also been working on lots of new picture books ( in between trying to figure out how to read an alto clef on the Korsakov music course!), and I’m just waiting for some new graphics to come through…. watch this space.
