Constitution Reader’s Theater Activity

Help students build reading fluency while exploring one of the most important texts in American history: the Constitution. 

Reader’s Theater provides students with an authentic reason to read and reread a text. This Reader’s Theater resource from Tim Rasinski uses repeated reading and performance to help students strengthen fluency while deepening their understanding of the Preamble to the Constitution.

The resource features a script that allows students to take on different roles, rehearse their parts, and perform for an audience, developing:

• Fluency through repeated reading

• Prosody through expressive oral reading

• Phrasing and pacing through rehearsal

• Confidence through performance

• Comprehension through meaningful historical content.
