About This Activity
Build reading fluency while “performing” some of your favorites. Reader's Theater will build students’ reading skills while having fun on stage. Students’ active involvement boosts their confidence in public speaking and reading aloud. Beginning with an initial read-through, students will re-read scripts understanding new vocabulary and the author’s purpose. Next steps will include reading with expression and possible improvisations. Once students are familiar with the script and have enjoyed playing several characters, we'll add small props and simple costumes.
