As with all New Hanover County middle schools, Trask is charged
with finding new ways to motivate students to read and to
stimulate them into approaching reading with a positive
attitude. To make reading a positive experience, Trask has
formulated projects that foster reading out loud in the form of
drama, storytelling or recital, which improves student interest,
vocabulary skills, contextual skills and comprehension.
This program has been shared with two-thirds of NHCS elementary
schools by a touring demonstration team. The team demonstrates
to teachers and students how to overcome the difficulties of
staging drama in their classroom through the use of two
activities: Readers Theatre and Team Theatre. The activities
challenge students to be creative and innovative, quick and
organized, while overcoming handicaps and being successful
despite rules and restrictions.
