Beyond the Science of Reading: Drama as a "Third Space" for Early Literacy with TheaterReaders
Wed, December 3, 3:00 to 4:30pm, Planet Hollywood Hotel & Casino, Floor: Mezzanine Floor, Celebrity Ballroom 6Abstract
This research describes a drama-based pedagogy program boosting early literacy in urban schools via a non-profit partnership. Running parallel to the "science of reading" movement, TheaterReaders cultivates creative literacy and empathy.

In a dramatic play, we present findings that suggest drama offers a valuable alternative for diverse learners and teacher development, highlighting non-profit/school partnership potential for varied literacy solutions.
