Spanish Reader's Theater-Ricitos de Oro y los Tres Osos (The Three Bears)
Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading.

Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students
