Playbooks® Reader’s Theater Showcases Reading Enrichment at the NAA Convention
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA (April 16, 2010) – Playbooks® Reader’s Theater will be an approved exhibitor at the National AfterSchool Association (NAA) Convention to be held on April 19 - 21 in Washington, DC. The conference offers After School program administrators and staff a valuable selection of professional development workshops, opportunities for networking, and the newest information on best practices and research.
Playbooks® will be hosting its highly rated reader’s theater reception and workshop at the conference. The interactive workshop has been popular and successful at numerous After School conferences across the country. Reader’s theater is the most engaging form of “Repeated Guided Oral Reading,” the best proven method of building reading fluency, so attendees will not want to miss out on how to use this reading enrichment tool in their programs.
Reader’s theater stories are written like plays, but no memorization, props, costumes, or stage are required. Playbooks® Reader’s Theater stories come in a unique color-coded and multi-leveled format. The varying levels allow higher level readers to model fluent reading and vocabulary for lower level readers. At the same time, less fluent readers often show a greater aptitude for role-playing and will encourage more creative expression among their classmates. Playbooks® Reader’s Theater continues to grow in popularity and has helped millions of students build reading fluency, comprehension, and confidence in After School programs and more across the country!
