Easy Reader's Theatre Fairy Tale Scripts FREEBIE
As a first grade teacher, I struggled to find reader's theatre scripts that were easy enough for my young students to read, so I wrote my own!
This is a FREE sample of Little Red Riding Hood (with six parts) to try out in your own classroom.
All scripts have picture cues to make it easier for your students to find their parts. I've tried to create each script to be at approximately a mid-first grade level.
