What educators are saying

My students loved this reader's theatre! They begged to reread it several times! I used it in small group with students who needed support with reading with prosody and accuracy.
My students really enjoyed this resource - the only thing they didn't like was there wasn't a sequel, haha! Great way to get older kids into Reader's Theatre as well :)

Reader's theater scripts are an essential tool for middle grade language arts. I use them regularly to enhance fluency, increase student engagement, and sharpen our reading comprehension skills.

If you are looking for a high-interest, realistic fiction, common core focused script with vocabulary work, reader response questions, graphic organizer, and a summary answer key, this is the perfect product for your classroom!

The Cafeteria Catastrophe is about a student that is planning to run for student body president of her school's student council, but makes a bad choice by stealing from the school's cafeteria which results in a few undesirable consequences.

Your middle school readers will love the chance to transform into the characters and determine what happens to Clara.

Also, a perfect teaching/learning tool to utilize with a substitute teacher to keep your students engaged while you are out of the classroom!
