Reader's Theater

As a culmination of our folktales unit, we are performed two different versions of The Three Little Pigs.  Check out The Three Little Wolves and the Big, Bad Pig and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.  You will be blown away at the kids' expression!

What is Reader's Theater?

"It's a way to involve students in reading aloud. In reader's theater, students "perform" by reading scripts created from grade-level books or stories. Usually they do so without costumes or props.Reader's theater is a strategy that combines reading practice and performing. Its goal is to enhance students' reading skills and confidence by having them practice reading with a purpose. Reader's theater gives students a real reason to read aloud...Reader's theater motivates reluctant readers and provides fluent readers the opportunity to explore genre and characterization."
