What is Reader’s Theater? “ In reader’s theater, students stand in front of an audience…and read from scripts…No costumes, props, or scenery are required…Very little, if any, movement is involved. In a sense, reader’s theater is a minimalist form of play performing.” - The Fluent Reader , Tim Rasinski

Benefits of Reader’s Theater ,[object Object],“ Without movement, costumes, props, or scenery, the performers have only one attribute to make their performance meaningful and satisfying: their voices. And, in order to use their voices well, performers must practice the text beforehand.” - The Fluent Reader , Tim Rasinski

Benefits of Reader’s Theater “ Reader’s theater is an authentic, entertaining, and educationally powerful way to read and communicate meaning…And we are gaining evidence from classroom research that reader’s theater yields improvements in students’ word recognition, fluency, and comprehension.” -The Fluent Reader, Tim Rasinski RT is a meaningful context for reading and making meaning from text.
