Created by
Senora Dominguez
Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading.

Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes. The Three Little Pigs is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are l
