How I Use Reader's Theater in My Classroom …
"Reader'sTheater has become really popular in the last couple of years as a way to practice and perfect students' fluency and speaking skills. Lastsemester I read an article about improving fluency in the classroom. I have often heard of using Reader's Theater, but was intrigued by this new twist. The teacher randomly passed out Reader's Theater scripts on Monday. Each script had one part highlighted. Students were to take the script home and practice it each night with a parent or adult. The adult then signed off that the child had practiced. This was the only practice that was done. On Friday, students were given a short amount of time to work out the kinks in class (10-15 minutes), and then it was show time!"
