reader's theater with paula

Through Reader’s Theater, children bring stories to life, strengthen their literacy skills, and enjoy self-expression.

Step 1

We begin by listening to a story.

Step 2

We use the story as a springboard to write dramatic dialogues, changing the story in some way.

Step 3

Finally, the children read and dramatize the new dialogues that they have created.

Imagination

The children become co-authors who use their imaginations and voices to interact with literature.

JOY

They experience the beauty of literature and the joy of using their voices to interact with it.

Confidence

They become more confident, deepen their literacy and social skills, and have fun (without electronic devices!).

And children learn best when they are having fun!
