Activities that prepare children to participate in readers theatre are accompanied by reproducible scripts of classics (e.g., Little Women, Heidi, The Secret Garden) and suggested scenes from contemporary children's literature (e.g., Tuck Everlasting, The Wish Giver, The Whipping Boy, Stone Fox, Sarah, Plain and Tall) that students may use to develop their own scripts. A great way to introduce good books and perpetuate an interest in literature.
