PS 62 Third Graders — Reader’s Theater Podcast

Last week during PS62’s annual publishing party – students from all across the school shared selected pieces from their writing portfolios. This was a very special day, and there was a buzz of excitement as parents and teachers came together to hear the voices of our students.

If you click on the player below you can listen to a snapshot of the day by stepping into Ms. McClean’s 3rd grade class, and hearing their Reader’s Theater podcast.

For those who do not know, Reader’s Theater is an engaging teaching technique that puts students into the role of the characters they are portraying. The students enjoy the opportunity to play these characters, and they also get a chance to work collaboratively on their reading fluency skills. One student in Ms. McClean’s class said, “I like Reader’s Theater because it helps me work on my reading skills, and it’s fun too.”

We hope you enjoy our podcast of the Reader’s Theater story, A Garden in the City. Please feel free to leave us a comment about our podcast. Better yet, if you attended our publishing party please  share some feedback about your experience. Thanks, and enjoy the show!
