Readers Theatre

Notes from Ginger Becker, Marion USD408.

This new book I read has incredible websites that I would like to share with you!

http:www.cdli.ca/CITE/langrt.htm

This site has a lot of information, in various sections

http:www.teachingheart.net/readerstheater.htm

This site, you will discover plays and scripts to print and read in the classroom

http//literacyconnections.com/readertheater

There is an incredible number of resources and scripts at this all inclusive site

http:www.readertheatredigest.com

This site bills itself as "A blog journal for readers theatre practitioners and interested others"

http:www.readertheatre.escd.net

This site has more than 150 small poems, stories, and chants for readers theatre

http.www.proteacher.com/70173.shtml

This is an all inclusive site at which you will discover readers theatre scripts as well as an array of fascinating resources for every classroom teacher

http:www.readers-theatre.com/

Resources, scripts, and information are what you will find at this dynamic site

http:www.storycart.com

Storycart's Press'subscription service provides an inexpensive opportunity to have timely scripts delivered to teachers or librarians each month. Each script is created or adapted by well-known writers.

Lastly.... I found a professional organization that focuses on the implementation and use of readers theatre in the classroom.
