My Project

I am requesting leveled reader's theater scripts and puppets for the library. Many students love listening to read alouds, but want to take it one step further and put on their own performances. What a great blend of speaking skills, active listening, and reading comprehension!

By providing reader's theater scripts and puppets, students can collaboratively work together on their fluency goals in a fun way!

These resources will be used with all grade levels during library time. Teachers will be invited to view reader's theater performances and students will get to showcase their fluency. Younger grades will work on scripts while older grades will have the opportunity to rewrite familiar fairy tales, stretching their creative skills as well.
