This practical, comprehensive guide goes well beyond the scope of typical “how-to” books on Readers Theatre. In addition to illustrating the entire Reaers Theatre process from script creation to performance, this book extends the applicablity of this instructional method with the following special features: - fun and easy-to-use supplementary activities
- reproducible assessment tools
- hands-on demonstrations of script creation using fiction-, non-fiction-, and poetry-based scripts
- performance schedules you can tailor to your classroom’s specific needs
- matrixes illustrating how Readers Theatre meets literacy standards
Although the descriptions of script creation and performance are geared toward the middle school classroom, the authors also show you how to easily adapt Readers Theatre in the elementary or high school classroom and with struggling readers, gifted students, and English-language learners.
