The concept of this book is there are 25 plays that use beginning phonics. The plays should be read aloud by children (along with parents or teachers). The plays can have as few as 2 and as many as 5 characters. They are broken down by phonics sound utilized (short vowels, long vowels, other vowels "oo, ou, bossy r, silent e", consonant digraphs, consonant blends). They are short and sort of funny. A great way to coax somewhat shy kids into reading aloud, creating a cooperative atmosphere, and practicing reading in a unique way. We home school 3 children close in age, so these are great for a fun practice in reading. I can see it being a bit for a challenge for teachers with larger classrooms as there is only one or two plays per vowel sound being practiced. So, for a larger class students either have to read the same play, or read only a couple plays per semester. Of course, if you utilize reading groups with five or less children, this won't be a problem.Overall a good concept we have enjoyed so far. I do see the novelty wearing off once students are better readers. Having a bit "to do" with having them make costumes and truly "get into character" may keep the flame burning.
I'm always looking for more ways to add reading into my children's day, without it feeling tedious or repetitive. These plays are so fun. My boys and I each pick a character or two to play, sometimes we use puppets, and I plan on using dress up at times, too. Since the reading is a little advanced for my young boys, we work on their parts through out the week before moving on to another play. Great homeschooling resource.
I use these all the time with my 2nd grades. Very easy to differentiate between what kids need to improve. They like them because they are fun and interesting. I like them because they hone in on specific skills and are great practice.
I put on a series of these plays with my students and they had TONS of fun! The plays are short so the kids can memorize their lines fairly easily. Also, there's a wide variety of subjects, all of which are super cute. I would definitely suggest this for any primary teacher!
This was my first experience doing plays with young readers. Love it. Wish I had more. Stories are fun to read.
Readers theaters is a way to build fluency and help student listen to the other readers. I was so excited that they have made these for lower reading levels so the feel included in our productions
My students love this book of plays. I involved the entire class in this classroom production. Short scripts that are very easy to learn, good for getting struggling readers involved.
Love the stories!! Kids enjoy all of the stories a lot!!!Great Job!!!
