Readers? Theater productions offer teachers the flexibility of casting more than one reader for each role as a way to support emerging readers. The 15 Grade 1 Readers? Theater scripts also include these 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.?
