Readers Theater Resources

 

 Readers Theater is a method of  changing written work into scripts for dramatic presentation by the students.   The parts are divided among the readers to be read dramatically. Memorization is unnecessary but costumes can make it more fun.  The readers hold the scripts as they present the story. The goal is to get students reading with great expression in their voices and appropriate gestures. They are actually acting out the story informally. This makes reading comprehension fun!
