NEW TO READER'S THEATER?

Five days. Small groups. One real performance.

1 · Monday Choose scripts, form groups, and read the whole text for meaning.

2 · Tuesday Choose roles, solve unfamiliar words, and decide how characters should sound.

3 · Wednesday Rehearse for 5–10 minutes while the teacher coaches accuracy, phrasing, pace, and expression.

4 · Thursday Polish the performance. Work on pauses, emphasis, volume, and meaning.

5 · Friday Perform for a real audience. Performance gives all that repeated reading a reason.
