READER’S THEATER: Come to our Readers' Theater and read from a 'script'. No worry about remembering your lines, just play the part as you read. Everyone can have a turn, share the fun and perform without costumes or props. This is a great way to practice reading out loud and help you feel like a real performer!

We're including grades 2-5 so come and join us at the theater!! Please register for the Thursday, November 8th performance that starts at 6:30 PM.

Parents, reader's theater is a strategy that combines reading practice and performing. Its goal is to enhance students' reading skills and confidence by having them practice reading with a purpose.  This is a fun way to build them up.  Please encourage your children to try it out.
