How to Do Reader's Theater
In its simplest form, Reader’s Theater is an activity where students read a play

doesn’t need to be an audience besides the readers themselves.
However, some teachers do reader's theater as a full script-in-hand production, with props, action, even costumes, and an audience. Reader's theater can be an activity in-and-of-itself to
