Reader's Theater Staff Development Packages (with or without materials) Available for the Start of the School Year

The week before students return to school is a great time for educating and training staff about the newest and most popular methods. Teachers are already back on campus, refreshed, and ready to prepare for the year, so an opportunity to gain new teaching tools will be welcomed! Title II grants are a great source of funding for this. Activities designed to improve any core subject area, including reading fluency, can be covered under this grant.

Playbooks, Inc. is now offering several options for staff development workshop packages designed to improve teaching methods for building reading fluency using Reader's Theater. Each Workshop option provides instruction on how to implement a Reader's Theater program in your school successfully and efficiently. Discover the power of Reader's Theater to build reading fluency and confidence in students in this fun, entertaining, and interactive workshop.

Workshop is usually between 90-120 minutes and training topics include: why Reader's Theater is an approved method of Repeated Guided Oral Reading and integrated instruction, how to structure a weekly Reader's Theater program with proper repetition and rotation of stories over varied lengths of time; coaching techniques for reading with expression; how to assign different leveled roles properly and structure effective groups; how to measure student progress; and many more.
