​Choral Reading

Choral Reading and Choral Speaking

Types of Choral Reading

• Antiphonal: Divide the class into smaller groups and give each group a different part of the text.  Give the students an opportunity to practice their part and how they want to read before having them come back together.

• Dialogue: Choose a passage that has different speaking parts to it. Assign one group as narrator, and the other groups the different characters.

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Types of Choral Reading

• Cumulative Choral Reading: The number of students that are reading builds as the text is being read. One individual or small group will read the first line or section and then another small group begins reading with them.  By the end, the whole group is reading together.

• Impromptu Choral Reading:  As a text is being read, students will join in or fade out whenever they choose.  Students will choose before reading what section(s) they will read.
