With simple, repetitive lines and a humorous storyline, it’s an ideal choice for classroom performances, reading centers, or small group practice.

What is reader’s theater?
Reader’s theater is a reading activity where students are placed in small groups and perform a script aloud multiple times without any actions, props, or costumes. Each student reads one character’s lines, focusing on expression and fluency.
How does reader’s theater help build fluency?
Reader’s theater helps build fluency by giving students repeated, meaningful practice with a script. Research has shown that reading the same word multiple times helps move it from short term to long term memory.
Engaging, effective, and fun - this The Little Red Hen reader’s theater script is a fantastic way to boost fluency and reading confidence in young learners!
