This study was a repeated measure design consisting of three four-week units with Readers' Theater implemented as treatment in the second of the three units. The study was carried out in one second grade classroom over the course of 12 weeks. Data was collected in the form of pre- and post-assessments for each of the three units. The results of the study indicate that over the duration of the study, Readers' Theater helped maintain and improve oral reading rates and prosody for second grade students. Although the data did not indicate that Readers' Theater had a direct impact on reader's attitudes, the students enjoyed Readers' Theater. Following the study, students asked daily for additional Reader's Theater time, expressing their motivation and interest in reading" -- Abstract, p. 1.

Book Synopsis Reading Fluency by : Timothy Rasinski
Download or read book Reading Fluency written by Timothy Rasinski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading fluency has been identified as a key component of proficient reading. Research has consistently demonstrated significant and substantial correlations between reading fluency and overall reading achievement. Despite the great potential for fluency to have a significant outcome on students’ reading achievement, it continues to be not well understood by teachers, school administrators and policy makers. The chapters in this volume examine reading fluency from a variety of perspectives. The initial chapter sketches the history of fluency as a literacy instruction component. Following chapters examine recent studies and approaches to reading fluency, followed by chapters that explore actual fluency instruction models and the impact of fluency instruction. Assessment of reading fluency is critical for monitoring progress and identifying students in need of intervention. Two articles on assessment, one focused on word recognition and the other on prosody, expand our understanding of fluency measurement. Finally, a study from Turkey explores the relationship of various reading competencies, including fluency, in an integrated model of reading. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into reading fluency and fluency instruction and move toward making fluency instruction an even more integral part of all literacy instruction.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Participation in Readers Theater on Reading Attitudes and Fluency Skills Among Ninth Grade Students in an Alternative Program by : Regina Marie Rees
Download or read book The Impact of Participation in Readers Theater on Reading Attitudes and Fluency Skills Among Ninth Grade Students in an Alternative Program written by Regina Marie Rees and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Readers Theater is a poplular instructional strategy for improving reading fluency. A large body of research has demonstrated its popularity and effectiveness in promoting the reading development of elementary school students. The purpose of this investigation was to explore whether the use of Readers Theater would enhance the literacy development of low-achieving secondary school students when embedded as an intensive unit of study in a language arts program. Ninth grade students in an alternative program for high ability low achieving students engaged in a study of Readers Theater in which they responded to literature by writing, rehearsing, and performing Readers Theater scripts. Data consisted of surveys, interviews, participant journals, research fieldnotes, audiotapes, and pertinent academic artifacts. Participants were administered an informal reading inventory before and after the Readers Theater experience to document any changes in fluency and reading rate. Participants' pre/post results were compared to test results for a group of students in the same school who did not participate in Readers Theater. In addition, a case study of two students provided an in-depth profile of their participation in Readers Theater. The 12-week study used a mixed methods approach that involved both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The study was guided by two research questions: 1. What impact does participation in Readers Theater have on the attitudes, interest and motivation of high ability, low achieving, ninth-grade students as literacy learners? 2. What impact does Readers Theater have on the fluency development of high ability, low achieving, ninth-grade students as compared to a similar group not participating in Readers Theater? The findings of this study indicate that the Readers Theater experience had a positive impact on students' attitudes towards reading and on their overall literacy development, including metacognition, confidence in oral reading, collaboration, and writing. Student[s] who participated in Readers Theater made dramatic improvements in fluency. Students' test scores indicate a significant growth in reading rate and fluency. The findings of this study further show that Readers Theater provides a successful holistic activity for adolescent learners. When embedded as a regular instructional component of the language arts curriculum, Readers Theater can naturally integrate reading, writing, speaking, and listening within an authentic learning community. Readers Theater enables students to realize success and understand the power of reading in their lives."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Impact of Readers' Theater on Reading Fluency by : Laura Olson
Download or read book Impact of Readers' Theater on Reading Fluency written by Laura Olson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A popular question within literacy programs is "How can I get my students to understand what they read?" We hear the statement, "They can read well, but don't seem to understand the story." Comprehension is a struggle for all readers at all ages. Reading fluency has been identified as an area of need in many elementary school reading intervention programs, as research links the relationship between fluency and comprehension. Many teachers are unsure where to begin with fluency instruction and how this could be incorporated within the classroom reading curriculum. Recent research studies indicate that an effective tool for building reading fluency is Reader's Theater (Corcoran & Davis, 2005, Clark, Morrison & Wilcox, 2009, Martinez, Roser & Strecker, 1999, Rasinski & Young, 2009). This study will utilize Fountas and Pinnell assessments (2010), running records, fluency rating scales, comprehension questions, as well as teacher questionnaires to determine if Reader's Theater has an impact on reading fluency and comprehension in below grade level fourth-grade students.

Book Synopsis Dramatizing the Content with Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre, Grades 6-12 by : Rosalind M. Flynn

This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter what the content area, one goal all teachers share is for students to actively engage in learning and achieve deep comprehension of required content material. This book will show teachers how to use Curriculum-Based Readers Theatre (CBRT) to increase students' motivation, active engagement with learning, and reading fluency. Unlike traditional readers theatre, which is typically limited to literature-based scripts, CBRT invites teachers and students to create scripts based on any topic, any work of literature, any textbook, or almost any collection of facts--Science scripts, Social Studies scripts, Language Arts scripts, and even Math scripts. CBRT can be easily incorporated into existing curriculum and classroom activities. Because this method emphasizes spoken words emphasized with gestures and sound effects-not staged action and movement-no theatrical training or background is necessary. The author's approach is clear and straightforward. She provides an in-depth explanation of what CBRT is and why it is a valid instructional strategy in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 details how to introduce CBRT to students. In Chapter 3, teachers learn how to collaborate with students on writing and revising an original CBRT script based on curriculum content. Chapter 4 covers ways to involve students in writing and assessing original CBRT scripts. Rehearsing, presenting, and assessing CBRT script performances are the topics of Chapter 5. Other resources found in the book's appendices are: --Twelve reproducible CBRT scripts from a variety of curriculum content areas --Eleven CBRT script templates or script "starters" that suggest a variety of contexts and opening lines to simplify the script creation process --Detailed instructions on the recommended computer formatting of a CBRT script

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers Theater is a reading strategy where two or more participants perform while reading from a script. This strategy has become a hot topic in reading. There are many articles tying Readers Theater to increases in student fluency. This study investigated the benefits of Readers Theater on fluency and reading engagement in students that were reading below grade level. The students that were reading below grade level in the classroom were divided into two groups. One group spent 15 minutes of their reading time doing Readers Theater, the other group did not. The motivation for investigating the benefits of Readers Theater is that it was something that the students had enjoyed the previous year. There is also not a set curriculum in the school where this study took place, so there was a need to look for possible strategies that could be adopted by all of the classrooms within the school. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the fluency of students that participated in Readers Theater to the ones who did not. There was a significant difference found in the growth of engagement of students who participated in Readers Theater to those that did not. Overall, the students that participated in Readers Theater a higher growth in fluency and engagement than the other students that did not participate in Readers Theater.

Download or read book The Effects of Readers Theater on Oral Reading Fluency written by Jacqueline Smeigh and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the effectiveness of Readers Theater in improving the oral reading fluency of second grade students. Ten students were evenly and randomly divided up into a control group and an experimental group. Students in the experimental group participated in Readers Theater five days a week for 30 minutes. Fluency interventions such as choral and echo reading were combined with the Readers Theater activity during the seven week study. Students were given a pre and post-assessment to measure both qualitative and quantitative results. The findings indicated that the experimental group had more significant gains in reading rate, expression and prosody, although the t score did not show a statistically significant difference in the post-assessment gains between the experimental and control groups. Analysis of student gains implies that Readers Theater is an effective oral fluency intervention.
