What educators are saying

My students loved acting out the scenes and script of the play. I used it during my shared reading block and my students loved the plays to understand the story.
I love readers' theater for how it helps my students with reading fluency. This bundle contains lots of great book choices and suggestions, along with photos of it being used in the classroom.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Helen B. says “My kindergarten classes loved this resource during our Drama unit. It was very easy to navigate through and set up initially. They loved the stories and creating puppets/characters. The scripts were at their reading level and the choices and selections are worth it. I can't wait to use it again this year.”

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Morgon Elliot says “I bought this and we have used it every week since school started! Love it!”
