3. Three Fairy Tales Reader's Theater Scripts and Reading Comprehension Worksheets

The 3 Little Pigs, Cinderella & Rumpelstiltskin for 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grade! Practicing reader’s theater is a fun way to build reading fluency! When the scripts play out famous fairy tales this practice becomes interdisciplinary combining reading fluency, vocabulary, public speaking, and literature.

Included in this resource:

• 3 Fairy Tale scripts written with beginning readers in mind

• Character name tags for each play

• Common Core aligned & labeled worksheets to go along with the story

• Answer Keys (when applicable)

• 1st -3rd grade summarized common core reading standards

Reader's Theater Teaching Tips:

• Begin by familiarizing the group with the characters & unknown vocabulary.

•To build fluency speed, have students pre-read their scripts silently several times. (To build fluency with improved expression, begin to practice out loud.)

• This is great for workshop or centers focused on building reading fluency.

• I like to divide my class into 4 groups and give each group a play to practice. After practicing for several days, they then perform it for the class.

•This is a GREAT MAY or JUNE Activity!!

• Reader’s theater can be made into a costumed, staged performance or kept simple with students sitting on chairs in front of the class. Do what works best for your schedule!
