Abstract

en_US This is an 8½ x 11 book for teachers using the pamphlets that teach fluency through reader's theater. This guide has three sections: introduction, fables scripts, and appendix. The introduction begins with a foreword by an avowed Reader's Theater nut. Three pages are then given to the connection between reader's theater and fluency. Each of the pamphlets had two pages of short tips on reader's theater by Aaron Shepard. Here there are three pages of tips from the same Aaron Shepard. Next come two pages on standards correlations: my sense is that this is outcomes assessment work for the specific stories offered here, especially when presented as a cumulative process. A summary of what is included in each lesson leads into ELL support, performance tips, and a helpful chart for assigning roles in each story. Each of the six character roles in each story is written for a different reading level. In the central section, one finds much more than the scripts. There is plenty here to make teaching each story easy for the teacher and exciting for the students. For each story there are six masks for the six characters. The appendix includes home-school connections, Aaron Shepard's (shorter) tips, contents of the two associated CD's, and a bibliography. The back cover has a pocket holding the teacher resource CD. I would enjoy teaching this material!
