Hi, monlingling! Thank you very much for sharing your results!

I started practicing this song since Monday (20 Aug 2012)
Monday - use presentation 1, 2 for LH and RH separately
Tuesday - use presentation 3, 4 for LH and RH separately, presentation 5 for both hands for first 9 bars of the song
Here is what I suggest for you: please, understand: when you choose a challenging song for your coordination, please, use presentation with pictures. By seeing what you play you have less stress to effect your muscles. We also are going to learn how to sight-read piano pieces, but for this activity we'll choose easier songs and will play them on 2, 4, 5 and 6.
Gradually will be able to handle both tasks: sight-reading the difficult songs, but it will happen down the road after developing proper piano technique.
Wednesday - use presentation 5 and concentrate on the rest of the song for both hands
Thursday and Friday - use presentation 5 for the whole song
Below is the result on 25 Aug 2012,

MOZART FOR CHILDREN: Springtime song
P5 202-209/211 - 30
The overall performance today is still not that smooth but really feel my sight-reading is improving.
I tried to take video by my mobile but don't know how to upload.
I like these figures! The piece is very challenging for beginner-beginner.
I think, we can try some from Intermediate Level repertoire: let's try learning
1. Scott Joplin The Entertainer (American Album) - this piece is going to help you to maintain your piano technique
2. T Haslinger Sonatina C-dur (1) , Allegro non troppo from Musical Pieces
and
3. A.Grechaninov Mazurka from Classical Dances
Please, practice these pieces on 1st or 3rd presentation
For sight-reading, please, use Favorite Classics 1. Play all the pieces on R (2, 4, 5 or even 6) and try to make no more then 5 mistakes.
Please, keep me posted about the numbers! I am also looking to see your figures and video!
