Readers Theater can dramatically improve students' fluency, reading with expression, comprehension skills, and self-esteem building. Classic short stories adapted to script form can be a fun and quick activity for the classroom. These three to five-day lessons get students out of their seats and performing in front of their peers. Even reluctant readers can be convinced to play a part with only a few lines.

Help students practice fluency, reading with expressing, and performing in front of others without the stress of having to memorize their lines.


Fun reading strategy to improve close reading and comprehension skills.


Works well for performing arts, public speaking, Mystery, British Literature, and/or Short Story units.


Use as quick and easy skit for Drama Club, English classroom, or ELD classes.


Great for building self-esteem and self-concept. Encouraging students who enjoy acting as well as reluctant readers.
