Readers Theater, Grade 1 productions offer teachers the flexibility of casting more than one reader for each role as a way to support emerging readers.

The 15 scripts include the following features that provide additional support for emerging readers:

• Simple rhyming text helps increase predictability of the text in the script for Too Much Noise!, a traditional Jewish folktale.
• Scripts based on familiar folktales such as The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Little Red Hen, and The Three Little Pigs increase students comfort with read-aloud material.
• A patterned story structure and repeating choral refrain help support beginning readers in Out in the Woods.

This resource contains teacher support pages, reproducible student pages, and an answer key.
