I Want To Read! - How Fredrick Douglas First Began to Read - Reader's Theater
This is a Reader's Theater for four students. I Want To Read is the story of how Fredrick Douglas first began reading. It was written to use for students during Black History Month but can be used any time. I write them for small groups to help with fluency. When the group is small, they don't waste time sitting around waiting for their turn and get more time actually practicing. Reader's Theater actually encourages students who are reluctant to read. It is a fun way to get people to practice. M

George Washington Carver and Peanuts - Small Group Reader's Theater
This is a small group reader's theater for four people. It was written to honor George Washington Carver during Black History Month. I use reader's theaters to encourage my students to practice fluency. It is a fun way to do something that they need. The problem with many other reader's theaters is that students spend a lot of time waiting for their part. When you have a small group they get more practice in and less off task behaviors take place. Most of my scripts are in black and white so th
