Second graders have been learning about reader’s theater in library class with Miss Morrow.

During reader’s theater students do not have to memorize their lines. They read from the script.  Students need to follow along so they know when it is their turn. There are no costumes.

Students first read Good Night, Good Knight by Shelley Moore Thomas, illustrated by Jennifer Plecas. They learned about the homonyms night/knight. Then they read Get Well, Good Knight, the reader’s theater adaptation by Judy Freeman. 

The final step was to practice the reader’s theater and perform for the first and sixth graders. They did a great job!
