One of the most powerful tools librarians can use is Readers
Theater. Often called “theater of the mind,” Readers Theater allows
youngsters to share passages of their favorite books with others and to
reread text with a purpose (which leads to increased fluency). Readers
Theater calls for no costumes or set decoration and consequently asks
listeners to visualize the action, an important feature for readers who
say they “can’t get a picture in their minds” when reading.
A fuller
description
(pdf) of Readers Theater, along with
some informative references, is available on TLA’s Día de los niños/ Día
de los libros website.
The Texas Bluebonnet
Program Committee has produced several scripts for Readers Theater. You
have permission to download these and use them in your schools and
libraries.
