was in primary school in Japan.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4204\" data-end=\"4591\">When I was in Years 5 and 6, I was chosen to be a member of the <strong data-start=\"4268\" data-end=\"4295\">cheering squad (\u304a\u3046\u3048\u3093\u3060\u3093)<\/strong>. Rather than wearing a modern cheerleading uniform, we proudly wore traditional <strong data-start=\"4376\" data-end=\"4386\">hakama<\/strong>, which reminded us of samurai. I still remember how exciting it felt to stand in front of the whole school, beating the drum, waving flags, and cheering for our team. We thought we looked incredibly cool!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4593\" data-end=\"4940\">I created this reader because Sports Day is much more than a day of races. It brings together teamwork, determination, school spirit, and family support. Through these authentic photographs, I hope learners can experience the excitement of a real Japanese primary school Sports Day and gain a deeper understanding of everyday school life in Japan.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4942\" data-end=\"4956\">Happy reading!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4958\" data-end=\"4977\">\u2014 <strong data-start=\"4960\" data-end=\"4977\">Mariko Sensei<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"1nfz8nt\" data-start=\"231\" data-end=\"261\"><span style=\"color: #ff99cc;\">\ud83d\udcd6 Your Next Japanese Reader<\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"263\" data-end=\"354\">Continue building your Japanese reading confidence with these engaging <strong data-start=\"334\" data-end=\"345\">Level 8<\/strong> readers:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"356\" data-end=\"793\">\n<li data-section-id=\"2p5076\" data-start=\"356\" data-end=\"511\"><a href=\"https:\/\/japanbookshop.com\/ja\/product\/level-8-japanese-reader-melted\/\"><span style=\"color: #8802bd;\"><strong data-start=\"358\" data-end=\"369\">\u3068\u3051\u3061\u3083\u3063\u305f\uff01<\/strong><\/span><\/a> \u2014 Enjoy a heartwarming story about family, kindness, and unexpected surprises while strengthening your reading through an engaging narrative.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"8i98m1\" data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"642\"><strong data-start=\"514\" data-end=\"523\"><a href=\"https:\/\/japanbookshop.com\/ja\/product\/level-8-japanese-reader-scarecrow-village\/\"><span style=\"color: #9604ba;\">\u304b\u304b\u3057\u3080\u3089 (Scarecrow Village) <\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Discover one of Japan&#8217;s most extraordinary rural communities through authentic photographs and descriptive Japanese.<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"j26oop\" data-start=\"643\" data-end=\"793\"><strong data-start=\"645\" data-end=\"659\"><span style=\"color: #9604ba;\"><a style=\"color: #9604ba;\" href=\"https:\/\/japanbookshop.com\/ja\/product\/level-8-japanese-reader-rescued-cat\/\">\u307b\u3054\u306d\u3053 \u3061\u3044\u3061\u3083\u3093 (Rescued Cat Chii-chan)<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Follow the touching true story of a rescued cat while developing confidence with richer vocabulary and connected sentence patterns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These Japanese readers are intended for individual use and extensive reading (tadoku).<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a9 Mariko Earle.
