Test scores across the country show American students are far more
able to read narrative than nonfiction text. Some research
speculates this is due to a great lack in the background knowledge
of many children. Librarians are beginning to realize that a unique
fit for the school librarian is as a provider of background
knowledge materials for teachers to use. Teachers are continually
looking for an interesting, fun way to input content knowledge to
build that background information that will help push up expository
reading scores. Nonfiction readers theatre is one way to accomplish
this. Professor Fredericks offers 30 short, nonfiction readers
theatre plays for the young reader (grades 1-3) on topics ranging
from Earth and natural science to community helpers, holidays, and
government. All topics are tied to usual curriculum in the primary
grades. Reading the plays will expose students to factual,
curricular-related information in a fun way, as well as
contributing to the student's ability to understand nonfiction text
and read fluently. Each play offers an activity or science
experiment and a list of further readings and/or references.
