Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Learners will meet 1 day per week for 6 weeks for this Readers' Theater for 3rd and 4th grade students. Our goal is to improve fluency, comprehension, and confidence in reading. Through the exploration of engaging scripts, students will immerse themselves in the world of storytelling, transforming words into vivid and engaging performances. 

Throughout the course, students will develop their reading fluency, comprehension skills, and confidence in public speaking. By the end of the six weeks, students will showcase their newfound abilities and celebrate their journey as accomplished readers and performers.

Join us on this exciting Readers' Theater adventure, where imagination takes center stage and reading comes alive in the hearts and minds of 3rd and 4th-grade learners.
