Readers Theatre: A Lesson Plan for Any Script

In ESL/ELL instruction Readers Theatre is a strategy that comes up often.  Whenever I have looked at Readers Theatre I have often found the lessons or units to be overly detailed and wanted to find a way to simplify the concept.  As well, I wanted to ensure my students were gaining practice with the four language skills; reading, writing, listening and speaking.  So, I did some research online and came across several Readers Theatre ideas, and a few things I might like to try.  The lesson below is a loose planning of a Readers Theatre lesson and not specific to any script.  I hope it can support you in your lesson planning and maybe simplify the concept of Readers Theatre for you.

Included in the lesson plan are several suggested modifications and accommodations for the range of learners in any given class.
