This energizing professional development workshop introduces teachers and librarians to research-backed performance strategies that boost students’ reading fluency, comprehension, confidence, and joy. Using drama-based techniques—such as choral reading, echo reading, character voice, and movement—educators learn how to make reading instruction more expressive, engaging, and effective. Tailored for educators from Nursery–Pre-K through Grades 3–5, the workshop shows how to weave creative performance practices into daily lessons, small group instruction, and read-alouds. It’s perfect for all learners, especially emerging readers, English Language Learners, and those who thrive through kinesthetic and auditory learning.
