Reader's Theater & Performance
K-2nd Grade
Contact us about offering this class in 2025!
What is "Reader's Theater"? - Reader's Theater blends performance with oral reading practice to improve reading fluency, comprehension, and expression. It provides students the opportunity to explore characters and gestures without the pressure of memorization. - Children may end up memorizing their parts through repeated readings of the script but the primary goals are comprehnsion, increased fluency, and confident vocal expression - This format is a perfect introduction to performance for the emerging reader and/or the student who is hesitant about being on stage.
Students will bring stories and poems to life as they work on reading fluency without the pressure of memorization. -As a group, familiar stories, poems, fairy tales, and more will be written into short segments and/or skits to be read & performed at the end of the session. -Children will be encouraged to learn how to read with confidence and expression as they share their scenes. -Memorization will not be required although a child may choose to do so. -This is a perfect first step into stage performance and acting for the new or hesitant reader or for the child who is nervous about memorizing lines but wants to be on stage. -There is an end-of session showcase during the final class of the session.
Scene Writing & Performance
3rd-5th Grade
Contact us about offering this class in 2025!
Students will explore the structure of short scenes for the stage as they learn to write their own scripts or adapt known stories to a stage setting. -In small groups students may be asked to come up with lines for a scene, figure out the staging, come up with simple costume & set ideas, and memorize their lines as they prepare for a final showcase performance. -Students should be fairly comfortable writing down their ideas independently. -There is an end-of session acting showcase during the final class of the session.
