Evan Moor Readers Theater, Grade 1;

Readers Theater, Grade 1 productions offer teachers the flexibility of casting more than one reader for each role as a way to support emerging readers. The 15 scripts include the following features that provide additional support for emerging readers: Simple rhyming text helps increase predictability of the text in the script for Too Much Noise!, a traditional Jewish folktale. Scripts based on familiar folktales such as The Three Billy Goats Gruff, The Little Red Hen, and The Three Little Pigs increase students comfort with read-aloud material. A patterned story structure and repeating choral refrain help support beginning readers in Out in the Woods.
