Theatrical Readers "Theatrical Readers" are attractively illustrated comic-strip readers with a difference: they have been specially designed so that when students have read the story, and completed the activity pages at the end of the book, they are ready to perform the play. As students have already had time to get to know the characters well and will be familiar with the script, preparing for the play is straightforward. Each story is recorded on a cassette/CD along with all the songs and separate instrumental tracks for use during performances.
