As a classroom teacher, I developed this program over three years because I had students who could decode words but struggled with comprehension. They were simply sounding out words, not understanding them.

I needed a way to make learning to read—something they had grown to resist—fun.

So, I turned to research from the National Reading Panel and blended it with techniques I learned in my acting training.

And it worked.

The first year I implemented the program, one of my lowest readers went from a 20% comprehension pre-test score to 60% on the post-test. He also gained 17 words per minute in his fluency rate—in just 12 lessons.

That was just one of countless success stories. Students gained joy in reading, rebuilt their confidence, and became motivated readers.

​
​FAQ:

What if I’ve never used theater techniques before?
​No worries! Each lesson is scripted step-by-step, making it simple to follow—even for beginners.

Can I use this with students at different reading levels?
​Absolutely. The lessons include differentiated activities and templates, making them adaptable for every student.

Are the stories and scripts decodables?

No, this program doesn't focus on phonics; however, they are differentiated so that multiple reading levels are represented in each script.

How long will it take to see results?
​Most teachers see an increase in engagement immediately, with measurable growth in fluency and comprehension after just a few lessons.
