Publisher's Description of Readers' Theater Grade 1

Readers’ Theater, Grade 1 productions offer teachers the flexibility of casting more than one reader for each role as a way to support emerging readers.

The 15 scripts include the following features that provide additional support for emerging readers:

  • Simple rhyming text helps increase predictability of the text in the script for “Too Much Noise!,” a traditional Jewish folktale.
  • Scripts based on familiar folktales such as “The Three Billy Goats Gruff,” “The Little Red Hen,” and “The Three Little Pigs” increase students’ comfort with read-aloud material.
  • A patterned story structure and repeating choral refrain help support beginning readers in “Out in the Woods.”
Category Description for Readers' Theater

So you think that you would like to include drama in your classroom, but you don't have the time or money and it's just not practical for you to stage your own productions? This doesn't mean that you have to lose out on the benefits of dramatic readings and scripts. These books don't provide full productions, but they do offer you a way to incorporate drama without the work of making costumes, sets, and memorizing scripts. Instead, a student or group of students receives their copy of the script and highlights all of their lines (much as they would in an actual performance) and practices reading them expressively, including appropriate voices and expressions. Although students could go through the effort of memorizing the lines, these are just as effective (and less stressful!) used as dramatic readings. Each of these books provides age appropriate stories for kids to present through reading. Background information is provided for you to share with the students beforehand, as are suggestions for "staging," additional research and activities that relate to the story, and vocabulary from the story for you to introduce. Next is the actual script, which can be copied and distributed to the students. After the story are a few pages of related activities, such as coloring, writing, matching, and otherfun worksheets. Assuming my sample copy is representative of the group, there are around 15 scripts provided in each book. Several different genres are enlisted for a variety of readings, including non-fiction, fiction, myths, folk tales like "The Little Red Hen" and "The Three Little Pigs," classics like Romeo and Juliet, and scripts centering around actual people from history like John Chapman and George Washington Carver. You can use these with a single student, include several different children, or even take a role yourself so the whole family can become better dramatic readers. Scripts and activities are reproducible, and answers to the activity questions are included. - Melissa
