Readers Theater primarily focuses on enhancing reading fluency through shared readings. This approach involves students reading scripts aloud, often in a dramatic format, which encourages them to practice expressive reading and improve their fluency. The interactive nature of Readers Theater allows students to engage with the text in a collaborative environment, promoting both comprehension and prosody, which is crucial for fluent reading.

By emphasizing performance and expression, students become more invested in the material, leading to increased motivation and enjoyment in reading. This method also allows for repeated readings, an essential strategy for improving fluency as it enables students to practice and refine their skills in a supportive setting.
