Reader’s Theater encourages students to act out their favorite parts of a story, or to think of a new ending to a story to act out. It takes creativity, movement, and teamwork. It also requires language and comprehension. It’s a great way to add concrete understanding to a difficult passage. We have some ready-made resources to help you get started.

October is a great time to be doing Fall activities, unless you live in the southern hemisphere, anyway. Assuming you don’t, let’s kick this off with a first grade reading comprehension activity. Students in the south or in arid climates might find northern USA’s Fall season interesting. Similarly, those in the north might find the season of Fall pretty different in the south. This is a great time to pull in prior knowledge and maybe even have your own classroom fall festival!
