Course Description:
Readers Theater is a class that makes reading come alive. We will enjoy reading simple scripts and stories aloud. Students will use their creativity to read their assigned lines and make the characters come to life while learning phonics, enhancing fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. This class will strengthen oral reading skills, language arts skills, promotes teamwork and helps develop confidence in each child. The goal will be to perform one of our scripts at the semester end Showcase. Readers Theater is not a drama class with sets and line memorization. It is a dramatic reading class with very minimal costumes and props, which stimulates the reader's and listener's imagination to create their own visual images.
