Reader's Theatre: Chicken Little

Created by

The Reading Coach Diva

Based on current research, reader’s theatre improves fluency which leads to better comprehension. Since I teach intervention groups, I decided to increase fluency and comprehension during intervention time using Reader’s Theatre scripts. I could not believe how much my students gained on their STAR reading benchmark tests. Reader’s Theatre is a hit in my classroom. I was so excited about the progress of my students that I decided to create reader’s theatre scripts using my favorite books.
