READERS’ THEATRE Reader's Theater: A Reason to Read Aloud
Reader’s Theater helps students become fluent readers. The repeated readings necessary to prepare for play, both silent and oral, help students gain confidence with the selected play text. Choral readings, rehearsals, and readings at home with family members all create great reading opportunities. (Carson-Dellosa’s “Act It Out with Reader’s Theater” Series are great because the speaking parts in each play can be acted with students at different reading levels).
ELL/LEP Population: limit the students to small roles or roles with limited text unless the student is comfortable with more difficult text.
