Readers Theater Script of The Three Little Pigs - 1st Grade
Enjoy practicing reading with expression with this Reader's Theater script based on the classic tale of the Three Little Pigs. Reader's Theater provides an authentic reason for students to reread text in order to improve fluency.
This script is written for 6 characters, but really is just 5 parts because the mother pig only has one line.
This is fun to do as a puppet show too!
Thank you for looking and happy reading!
