Multi-Grade Readers Theatre - Picture Book Authors and Illustrators

36 readers theatre scripts use authors and illustrators to awaken student imaginations.

This book of 36 readers theatre scripts (one for each week of the school year) concentrates on scripts written at multiple reading levels with a large number of parts-including choral reading parts-that enable the entire class to participate.

The first 18 scripts are written for 1st-3rd grade reading levels and feature giants of kids literature like Margaret Wise Brown, James Marshall, Bill Martin Jr., Bill Peet, and Beatrix Potter. The second 18 scripts are written for 2nd-4th grade reading levels to allow for growth throughout the school year. This group of plays introduces students to Stan Berenstain, Arnold Lobel, Shel Silverstein, and Tasha Tudor, among others. Carefully designed to meet the needs of students of various reading levels, the scripts are also ideal for use with remedial readers. Grades 2-5
