Amazing Animals

Students will act out the story of a boy named Brian who loves amazing animals! Brian keeps bringing animals home and when his mother tells him that he can only keep one, he meets even more new, exciting animals! This “Reader's Theater” script features six roles, each written to match a different reading level. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on each student's current reading level, allowing all students to get involved in the same activity and feel successful! Students will gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. While performing with others, students will practice performance, interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
