During our Guided Reading sessions in Year 3, the children have been taking part in Reader's Theatre, which is a highly motivating reading strategy that provides a context for authentic reading. The children read to convey meaning using their voice, facial expressions and gestures.
Reader's Theatre has helped the children to read with fluency, read aloud with expression and to build their reading confidence.
Based on our new class novel, Charlie Changes into a Chicken, the children have taken great delight in performing as different characters and inferring how the written text is said.
The children have used their reciprocity skills to work together to assign reading parts and decide how to perform the short extracts. As the weeks have gone on, it has been wonderful to see the children grow in confidence. Their performances have certainly been Oscar worthy!
