Fun Small Group Reader's Theaters for First Grade Leveled Readers
This group of scripts was written for my lower level reading groups. They are all on a 1st grade level. The number of characters goes from 3 to 5. Some are funny, some tell a story, and all encourage the struggling reader to read out loud. The problem I find with most scripts written on a lower level is that they can be boring and have too many characters. I have written these in order to address those issues. Three of them are fairy tales. If you purchase this package you will get six scripts.

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.
Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
Benefits of learning English language arts
Learning English language arts offers many benefits to students both in school and beyond. It helps students:
