What is reader’s theater?
Reader’s theater is a reading activity where students are placed in small groups and perform a script aloud multiple times without any actions, props, or costumes. Each student reads one character’s lines, focusing on expression and fluency.

How does reader’s theater help build fluency?
Reader’s theater helps build fluency by giving students repeated, meaningful practice with a script. Research has shown that reading the same word multiple times helps move it from short term to long term memory.

**Please note: This script is taken from the Science of Reading aligned Foundational Phonics Unit 7 which teaches students to read words with the ng and nk consonant digraph sounds. **

Engaging, effective, and fun— The Mile Run reader’s theater script is a fantastic way to boost fluency and reading confidence in young learners!
