Readers theatre is a powerful tool for building language skills and involving young readers with literature in a creative and fun way. This easy-to-use resource provides teachers with nuts-and-bolts guidelines for integrating readers theatre into upper elementary and middle school classrooms. Part One includes an overview of readers theatre and chapters (complete with checklists!) on selecting the literature, exploring key literary elements, compiling and adapting material, classroom procedures and preparing for performance. Part Two provides you with two different tools. First, you’ll find a 10-day model program and script as it was done in a fifth grade class of varied reading levels. Then, you’ll love the 11 classroom-ready sample scripts with cast sizes from two to 40 readers and presentation times from five to 40 minutes. With scripts ranging from original works to poetry to adaptations of classic works such as Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper and Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes, this text provides a thorough and lively introduction to readers theatre for upper elementary and middle school groups.
