Make reading come alive for your students!
- Builds oral fluency and reading and language skills
- Provides easy-to-perform scripts across a broad range of topics
- Makes drama performances possible within the classroom
- Independent follow-up activities
Readers’ Theatre offers your students all the enrichment of traditional theatre productions without the hassles of set building, staging, costume and production.
Students can focus on developing a strong dramatic performance by directly reading from the scripts provided in these books. In doing so, they learn about famous people, places, history and more.
Perfect to extend all Key Learning Areas, this series provides reproducible plays on a wide variety of topics from traditional tales, historic plays and contemporary issues.
Each grade-level book contains over 10 complete scripts.
Readers' Theatre Multi-level Scripts (book 3 in each level)
- 8 reproducible scripts containing a range of reading levels
- Cross-curricular links to Maths, Science and SOSE/HSIE
- Extensive support ideas for ESL students
Book 3 of the Readers' Theatre series for lower, middle and upper primary differs from books 1 and 2 because the scripts have been carefully levelled and include roles for less fluent readers.
Readers' Theatre Multi-level Scripts give you the opportunity to build the fluency of less able students by encouraging them to practise reading with their peers. Students will experience the thrill of a dramatic performance without the stress of memorising lines. This will result in them gaining confidence as readers and becoming more fluent. Each role has been given a broadband level and a reading age to assist you when assigning roles.
Teaching Notes - Four pages of teaching notes are provided to support each play before each reproducible script. These include a summary of the script, levels for each role, literacy objectives and a glossary of words in the script that many need further explanation.
The Teaching Notes are divided into the following sections:
1. Introduce the script
2. Read the script
3. Discuss vocabulary
4. Reread the script
5. Interpret the text
6. Assign roles and rehearse the play
7. Perform the script
