Reader's Theater for Oral Reading Fluency Practice 6 Science Themed Class Plays

Looking for a way to save time by incorporating reading and science? Want to give your students meaningful and fun fluency practice? This Reader's Theater Science Bundle can help you accomplish all those goals! It includes six original plays: I Wanna Be a Rock Star (Rocks and Minerals), Weather, the Solar System, Adaptations Around the World, Dude, Where's My Rock (weathering, erosion, and deposition), and Force and Motion at the Amusement Park (introductory physics).

Each script has enough parts (30) for the whole class but can be modified to work with smaller groups.

You can use the reader's theater scripts to introduce or review a science unit for fluency, and to add variety to your reading program. Your students will learn and review important science information while having fun! The stories are high interest and are packed with humor too!
