    Should the scripts be decodable?
    Do you have decodable readers theater scripts?

      Hi Nyree! This is a very good question. Some people would say yes. Others, like the researcher Tim Rasinski, would say no. I am still undecided! I do know that writing decodable reader’s theater scripts that are actually interesting and worth rereading is very difficult, which is why I don’t have any for sale yet. 🙂

    I loved this podcast! I’ve just tried to access to readers theatre scripts however they don’t seem to be loading (page is failing to load). Do you have another link for them please?

    This was a great podcast! I love using Reader’s Theatre with students. I have always thought it builds fluency, character analysis, and comprehension. I also love the opportunity it brings for kids that love to perform!!! I am curious to see the free scripts to hopefully add to my 1st grade library :o)
