I use reader�s theatre as a great starting point to engage my students in the reading process. Reader�s theatre also enables the instructor to legitimately ask for the text to be re-read without the child becoming discouraged. As a shared oral reading task, I will often ask the child to re-read their dialogue so that I can �get myself into character�. Dyslexic students are often very creative individuals. This form of reading allows them to explore the use of silly voices along with the general theatrics that are associated with reading plays.

Reading A-Z offers a multitude of plays at different levels of ability, however this is not a free. website.www.teachingheart.net/readerstheater.htm
