- Abstract
The article discusses the educational benefits of podcasting and how this technology can be used in elementary school classrooms to allow children to record scripts that they perform. The Readers Theatre exercise emphasizes the repeated reading instructional method and also improves reading comprehension. The exercise, it is noted, increases students' reading ability. Matching educational technology to the appropriate literacy strategy and the process of integrating educational technology into the classroom are discussed. Other topics include the scripts that were used in Readers Theatre, data on reading comprehension, and what students like about the Readers Theatre.
