Fun Small Group Reader's Theaters for First Grade Leveled Readers
This group of scripts was written for my lower level reading groups. They are all on a 1st grade level. The number of characters goes from 3 to 5. Some are funny, some tell a story, and all encourage the struggling reader to read out loud. The problem I find with most scripts written on a lower level is that they can be boring and have too many characters. I have written these in order to address those issues. Three of them are fairy tales. If you purchase this package you will get six scripts.
