Reader's Theatre is a great way to get students motivated to read and become engaged in what they are learning.
- AaronShep (reader's theatreand young author's tips) - Includes Stories on Stage is a collection of reader’s theater scripts for young readers, adapted from stories by fifteen different authors, including such favorites as Roald Dahl, Nancy Farmer, and Louis Sachar. Coming from such genres as humor, fantasy, and multicultural folktales, the stories have been selected for their dramatic quality, literary value, and appeal to young people.

- Teaching Heart (Reader's Theater with links and downloadable scripts) "Readers Theater is a dramatic presentation of a written work in a script form. Readers read from a "script" and reading parts are divided among the readers. No memorization, costumes, blocking, or special lighting is needed. Presentations can easily be done in a k-3 classroom. Scripts are held by the readers. Lines are not memorized. The focus is on reading the text with expressive voices and gestures. Making comprehending the text meaningful and fun for the student! Once you start Reader's Theater in your classroom you and your students will be loving it!!!"
