Summary

Students will act out this classic story of the Little Red Hen with this leveled script. The Little Red Hen finds grain of wheat and works to turn it into bread. None of the other animals help, but they all want to eat the bread in the end. She doesn't share with the lazy animals, teaching them they have to work for things. This Reader's Theater script features six roles written to match multiple reading levels. 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!
