This study investigated the effects of Readers Theatre as a teaching strategy to promote reading ability. Readers Theatre, paired repeated reading, and the traditional method of using basal reading textbook were examined to determine their effectiveness in improving reading rate, reading word accuracy, and reading comprehension. Reading rate was calculated by multiplying number of words in the passage by 60 and divided by the number of seconds it took to read the passage. Reading accuracy was calculated by subtracting the number of miscues from the number of words in the passage. The Terra Nova Reading Test, Level 15 was used to measure comprehension. Test results were analyzed using ANCOVA with the pretest serving as the covariate. Post-hoc analysis techniques (Scheffe) were used to further examine any statistically significant main effect. A total of 179 fifth grade students involved in the project comprised ten classrooms from four different schools within the same school district. This urban, special-needs district, in which the majority of the students are considered educationally at risk, is located in central New Jersey. The procedure for this quasi-experimental study followed a pretest, intervention (12 weeks), posttest schedule. A total of 47 students formed the control group (traditional method), 76 students formed the quasi-control group (paired repeated reading), and 56 students formed the experimental group (Readers Theatre). The results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in reading rate. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed both the quasi-control group (PR) and control group (TM). Additionally, the results of the ANCOVA showed a significant overall difference among the groups in word accuracy. Further analysis using the Scheffe revealed that the experimental group (RT) outperformed the control group (TM). The results of the ANCOVA showed no significant difference among the groups in reading comprehension. These results suggest that Readers Theatre does improve fluency, particularly oral reading rate and word accuracy. These gains are most likely attributed to developing automaticity, using prosodic cueing, and dramatically interacting with the text.

Comprehensive, authoritative, and designed for practical utility, this handbook presents evidence-based approaches for helping struggling readers and those at risk for literacy difficulties or delays. Leading experts explain how current research on all aspects of literacy translates into innovative classroom practices. Chapters include clear descriptions of effective interventions for word recognition, spelling, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing, complete with concrete examples and teaching scripts. Coverage also encompasses preschool literacy instruction and interventions for older readers, English language learners, and students with learning disabilities, as well as peer-mediated and tutoring approaches.

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.

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.

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.
