Promoting Fluency through TPRS

Readers’ Theatre is a highly engaging activity that helps a story to come to 

life for the students.  Think of it as a mix of collaborative reading, 

“improv” theatre, and memory work.  

Here are the plays that the students in Lower Elementary, Middle Elementary and 

Upper Elementary worked on during September and October.  Each of the plays 

involved many activities like reading, art, memorization, writing, etc.

Lower Elementary

Animales Salvajes (Where the Wild Things Are)

Risito de Oro (The 3 Bears)

 Las 3 Ratitas (The 3 Little Mice)

                                   

Middle Elementary

Alicia.    

Mamba Verde (Green Mamba)

Pantalones Pequeños (The Boy with Small Pants)

Upper Elementary

El Zorro. 

Hay un chico famoso en Los Estados Unidos 

(It Was a Very Famous Guy in the United States)

Lower Elementary students enjoy using the Spanish materials from reading books 

to the Movable Alphabet.  Some days the students choose their own Spanish work 

to do with a partner or by themselves.   

Some Lower Elementary students are bringing Spanish books home to read it and 

some are chapter books!

Middle Elementary students enjoy Frezze Frame snapshot which is a variation of Reader’s Theater in which I narrate a brief piece of text and students must freeze in a snapshot. 

Middle Elementary students are writing Spanish stories on their own time.

Upper Elementary 
The second email from Spain arrives! So much excitement comes from receiving the emails. 

Upper Elementary students are reading Spanish novels and writing book reports in Spanish.
