The Life Cycle of a Sunflower Seed to Plant, Reader's Theater Script; Level 1

The Life Cycle of a Seed

Reader's Theater script Level 1

Bring your science standards to life with this engaging Reader's Theater play designed to help your students learn about the life cycle of a sunflower seed. This fun script reinforces reading skills, science standards, science vocabulary, fluency, and speaking and listening skills.

Students will learn how a sunflower seed needs water, sunlight, and soil to grow and what each stage of the plant life cycle looks like, starting and ending with the seed. Included are diagrams of this cycle to help students clearly understand each stage.

This script is written in rhyming stanzas, giving it a nice flow that is easy to read and understand. You could use this script to teach rhyme, meter, or other poetry elements if you wanted to.

This is a Level 1 script meaning this would better meet the needs of your "higher level readers" for 1st grade or your "on grade level to below grade level students" for grades 2nd-3rd). There are 8 characters with mostly equal lines. You could easily combine parts for less roles or split up lines to accommodate another reader.

This script is rich with vocabulary and has simplified explanations about the life cycle of a seed, making it a Level 1 script. Science vocabulary is underlined throughout the script to reinforce science content and understanding. It is important for even our struggling readers to use the proper science terminology. The repetition of reading a script and practicing lines is a great way to help them memorize some of the harder vocabulary words to read.

To extent it further, you could have students design a backdrop, props, and costumes to perform this play for their classmates or families which is always fun! When learning is fun, students often retain the information better.
