What is Reader’s Theater Reader’s theater is a style of theater in which the readers gather in small groups to convey stories using vocal expression to help the audience understand it. Reader’s theater increases reading comprehension and reading motivation and helps develop fluency through repeated exposure to text.

You are required to complete the screening and training processes and your background check before signing up for a volunteer slot.
