Readers' Theater serves many useful functions:
It provides repeated reading practice--an important factor in building fluency. Repeated reading practice also improves students' confidence in, and enthusiasm for reading.
It's an enjoyable change of pace from everyday practice sessions. My students love it! And so do I. Students are so thrilled at their newfound skill that they ask to perform for younger classes.
It's a wonderful opportunity for children who are used to feelings of failure to provide expertise and entertainment for others.
Ideas for using Reader's Theater in the classroom...
Reader’s Theater Editions are free scripts for reader’s theater (or readers theatre) adapted from stories written by Aaron Shepard and others—mostly humor, fantasy, and world tales from a variety of cultures. A full range of reading levels is included, with scripts aimed mostly at ages 8–15. The scripts may be freely copied, shared, and performed for any noncommercial purpose, except they may not be posted online without permission.
