Perfect for any age group from young beginning readers to senior citizens, readers theatre encourages vocabulary development, teaches speaking and listening skills, improves reading fluency and expression, builds self-esteem, develops teamwork and social connections and stimulates creativity.Pioneer Drama Service is pleased to offer 11 texts in this category.
