I LOVE Reader's Theater!!!
To wind down
the school year, I’ve pulled out some of my favorite end of year themed Reader’s
Theaters!
If you are
searching for a way to get your students to enjoy reading, become more
expressive, read aloud with confidence, become more fluent…then let the magic
begin!!
I have
found using Reader’s Theater with large and small groups really helps my
students strengthen their reading and language arts skills! My class CHEERS every time I tell them
we are going to do Reader’s Theater!!
This technique makes reading come alive for your students and can really
develop a classroom full of confident readers! It is especially important that the stories are fun and
engaging!
Reader’s
Theater is a great way to reach the individual needs of a variety of students
at one time! Accelerated readers
can continue to develop expressive reading, and develop or expand their
vocabulary. Struggling readers are
given a legitimate reason to read aloud and to re-read. Collaborating with peers is one of the
most appealing features of Reader's Theater; students did not feel alone as
they read, they did not have to read the whole text, and they experience breaks
between their reading. Click on the RED CURTAINS below!!
