Both 4th class’ literacy groups worked on Readers Theatre in the run up to Christmas. The main idea behind this kind of reading aloud is to show-case clarity, pace and intonation. It is not about memorizing the lines but rather building confidence and developing fluency. I am very proud of the groups for doing this in front of their peers, and grateful to some other pupils for stepping in at the last minute.
