Reader's Theater By Cindy

There are tons of web sites that have turned books into reader's theaters. One of the kids favorite plays is The Real Story of the Three Pigs. How I do it in my classroom is that we do the play together first, then I divide the students into groups that have the same number of characters. It works great, and they love it!

Another thing that I do at the beginning of the year, is that I tell them what fluency means and how it sounds. I tell them that they don't talk in sloppy choppy ways and that they shouldn't read that way.

Hope this helps!
