The Gingerbread Man is a great choice for Readers Theater because it features repetitive dialogue and a predictable storyline. The familiar “Run, run as fast as you can!” line gives students a natural rhythm to practice fluency, while the simple structure makes it easy for even early readers to follow along and participate.
Readers Theater is great for fluency. When your students take on character roles, they naturally start paying attention to how they sound, when to pause, and how to make their voice match what’s happening in the story. It also helps with listening and comprehension because they need to follow along and jump in at the right time.
