[etni] Readers' Theater site - for Reuben et al

**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il   http://www.etni.org   ****

Hi All,
    Reuben asked for a site with downloadable stories. This is a site with a 
selection of short (8-10 minute) scripts for "Readers' Theater". The site also 
gives some tips on how to work with the kids on the stories. The kids practice 
the script and then perform it holding the scripts. The goal is reading 
fluency. I've been working (slowly) on one of the scripts with a fairly weak 
group of tenth grade girls. They were a bit dubious at first, but they have 
begun to really enjoy the sessions when we work on it. An interesting study in 
the US showed impressive results in improved reading fluency using script work 
as opposed to straight stories with parallel groups. Anyway, this is the site: 
http://www.aaronshep.com/rt/RTE.html    I highly recommend it for every level.
