Who doesn't love a good script. As a young learner myself, I participated in many plays. As a Teacher, I used Reader's Theater as a way to get my students involved in reading [a script], performing for their classmates, eventually the entire school and their parents. That's how much my students love Reader's Theater and I love teaching it. It made reading less laborious and a much more enjoyable experience. 

As a life long educator, I have helped learners of several different continents learn to read, improve comprehension and literacy from ages 4 to adults. I love the theater and have used it as a teaching mechanism for many years. 

At one time I owned a performing arts company for children 6-18, performed in A.R.T [Alpine Repertory Theatre] where I as a Principal, the teachers and staff put on plays during the school year for the entire student body, their prarents and the community.

I'm excited about working with learners here on Outschool, helping them to improve their reading literacy and comprehension, and expose them to a different way of reading while having fun.
