Review by Patricia Fry.
Every teacher knows the value of dramatic role-playing to get an idea across
to a class, but it's easy to forget that similar benefits occur when the roles
are reversed and the students become the actors. Acting out a story not only
stimulates children's interest in reading more stories, it also helps them
to develop confidence in speaking expressively. That simple lesson is
vividly demonstrated in this excellent resource book aimed at
elementary-school teachers.
Highly recommended as a teaching resource for grades K to 6.
Patricia Fry is a teacher-librarian with the Peel Board of Education.
