Playbooks® Reader's Theater Program for K-12

Improve Reading Fluency and Comprehension with Playbooks® in the classroom

 

Multi-Leveled Story - Books

Improve Reading Fluency and Comprehension for K-12 Students!

Reader's Theater is a great way to teach a love of reading in the classroom and increase fluency and comprehension in a fun and engaging way.

It’s research-based, and an easy-to-implement reading activity in the form of scripts/plays that do not require memorization, props, or a stage. Students read their parts together to bring the story to life. 

Reader's Theater is research-based. “Repeated Guided Oral Reading” or reading a text at least 4 times has been shown to most effectively improve reading fluency and comprehension. Reader’s Theater truly engages students and is a popular, approved form of “Repeated Guided Oral Reading.”

Students love it, and it promotes cooperative interaction with peers and makes reading exciting. Reader's Theater allows students to perform, practice public speaking, and interact with their peers, , building confidence and social skills.

Reader's Theater also meets nearly 50 objectives in the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy, as well as most State Standards!
