Reader's Theatre


















Reader's Theatre is a valuable tool that allows students to take virtually any piece of liteature, analyze it and adapte it into a script. The Reader's Theatre format provides an opportunity for students to develop fluency through multiple readings of the text by using expressiveness, intonation, and inflection when rehearsing the text. The use of Reader's Theatre can offer a different context in which students are exposed to texts focusing on poetry, science, social studeis, or other content related topics.








Reader's Theatre was introduced to the participants of the Empire State Video Conference Collaborative.
