• Readers Theater
- a dramatic presentation of a
written work in a script
form. Readers read from a
"script" and reading parts are
divided among the readers. No
memorization, costumes,
blocking, or special lighting is
needed. Presentations can easily
be done in a classroom. The
focus is on reading the text with
expressive voices and gestures.
Making comprehending the text
meaningful and fun for the
student!
Reading Interventions
• Chambers Theater
- a method of adapting
literary works to the
stage using a maximal
amount of the work's
original text and often
minimal and suggestive
settings
- narration is included
in the performed text
and the narrator might
be played by multiple
actors.
“It is not enough to simply teach
children to read;
We have to give them something
worth reading.
Something that will stretch their
imaginations -something that will
help them make sense of their own
lives and encourage them to reach
out toward people whose lives are
quite different from their own.”
― Katherine Paterson
