This course focuses on how to strategically incorporate readers theatre into language therapy, primarily for second or third grade up to older students. Readers theater is an all-encompassing activity and generates the best of receptive and expressive language and literacy skills. It assists with reading and deep understanding, syntax, grammar, facial and body expressions, turn-taking, and more.
We explore the differences between a “play” and readers theatre, and learn not only how to find the right script and what type of script to look for, but use the script as a core technique for language instruction. The book series “Reading Friends” is a favorite and is addressed.
