Om den här e-boken

Students will act out the classic story of a race between a tortoise and a hare. The hare is always boasting that he is the fastest animal in the woods. Everyone is fed up with his boasting, so the tortoise challenges the hare to a race. Readers will find out if the slow-and-steady tortoise can beat the speedy hare! The roles in this script are written at different reading levels. This Reader's Theater script features 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!

Om författaren

Dona does not know which is more fun-learning about the world through science, or writing books for children that tell all about it. She is glad she does not have to decide and can do both!
