US Grade 3 - 6
In this fun and engaging reader's theatre class, we will share the reading of an adaptation of Charles Dicken's beloved story "A Christmas Carol". We will read the lines together to build trust and confidence and then assign parts. If any child is feeling shy or unsure, I will read the lines with them. We will support each other until everyone is comfortable to read independently. There is no need for memorization. Scripts will be provided before class. Costumes, props and make-up are a welcome addition but not a requirement. Once we have read the script together and assigned roles, we will practice reading with fluency, rhythm, annunciation and inflection. We will experiment with our voices (loud, soft, slowing down, speeding up, pausing strategically).
Learning Goals
Reader's Theatre is cooperative, and provides opportunities to learn with support. It's creative and encourages language experimentation and risk-taking. It provides natural occasions for practice and enables children to build a repertoire of reading strategies with a purpose.
Apart from the fun aspect, there are many opportunities for the emergent reader to become comfortable with reading a script.
The children will have fun listening to each other, reading together and celebrating their accomplishments.
Pacing, inflection, expression and fluency will all be practiced.
