Download or read book A Readers Theatre Treasury of Stories written by Win Braun and published by Portage & Main Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the many uses and benefits of readers theatre. Readers Theatre is a cooperative or shared reading of a poem, story or lyrics of a favourite song. Two or more readers can take part. Even if a piece is scripted for only two readers, and you want more than two readers to participate, assign parts to a duet or chorus. And there are times when you will want to give a part to a weaker and stronger reader for practice, so that one reader supports the other till both feel comfortable enough to read independently. Simple as that.
