IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING RT IN YOUR CLASSROOM, THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH READING:
New from Aaron Shepard's RT Page is a collection of testimonials to the power of reader's theater, gathered from many years of messages from teachers, librarians, and other educators!
If you've been thinking of using reader's theater, read these to learn why you should wait no longer. If you'd like to use it but must first convince your administrators, here's your ammunition. If you're already using reader's theater, take these as encouragement from the community of believers.
