Readers' Theater, Grade 1

Readers' Theater helps students practice reading orally with fluency and expression. Each Readers' Theater book contains fifteen complete scripts that provide all the fun and interest of full-scale dramatic productions. 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, scripts based on familiar folktales, and a patterned story structure.

Each Readers' Theater volume includes 15 ready-to-read scripts for class productions. A reproducible program allows you to easily list cast members and their roles. A teacher's page for each selection helps build background and vocabulary. Follow-up activities provide practice with grade-level skills in math, language arts, social studies, and science. Assessment forms are included.
