In addition to being fun and enjoyable, drama has numerous benefits for preschool age children. Children who participate in drama by acting out stories, scenes, or ideas as a supplement to literacy activities have been found to perform better on measures of story understanding, reading achievement and writing than peers taught through traditional non-performance based methods. In this session, participants will explore how drama can be used to increase vocabulary development and be used as a strategy to provide access to other areas of curriculum for all children, including dual language learners and children with special needs.
