What educators are saying
Description
This book by Lucille Colandro is a favorite of children everywhere! This Reader's Theater will enable the children to enjoy the story even more as well as increase reading fluency and speaking skills.
There are roles for four students, and the script comes in a color-coded version for your convenience, also!
A headband/necklace master is included in case you'd like to read this script at an assembly, to the class next door, to your own class, etc!
Have fun, and feel free to change in any way that best suits your particular needs.
Story Activities Included:
A beginning, middle, and ending worksheet
A cut-and-paste noun worksheet
