Curriculum Based Reader’s Theatre is an arts-integrated strategy that combines theatre
technique with your curriculum to strengthen student retention, reading fluency, and build
confidence. This workshop included resources for K-6 grade levels and subjects that you can
apply directly to your classroom. Participants are encouraged to bring lesson plans and/or
project ideas that they would like to use readers theatre to activate. There will be dedicated time
to discuss these ideas with fellow participants and receive feedback from Arkansas A+ Fellows.
Teachers will:
*Learn basic reader’s theatre art vocabulary and readers theatre processes.
*Grow in their comfort using readers theater in their own classrooms.
*Learn enriched assessment strategies that can be used to assess their assignments.
*Leave with their own readers theatre plans that they can apply to their own planning and
classrooms.
