Rabbit and the Moon Man is a traditional story taken from the Mi’kmaq, a First Nations people of the Northeastern Woodlands of Canada. Pair this script with a trade book or video and you’re ready to cover CCSS.ELA – Literacy.RL.2.9 Compare and contrast two or more versions of the same story (e.g., Cinderella stories) by different authors or from different cultures.
And while this script was written for second graders near the beginning of the school year, it would also be a good fit for first graders at the end of their school year or third grade students in intervention settings.
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.
Please Note: This script is taken from the Science of Reading aligned Super Advanced Phonics Level A Unit 1 which teaches students to read words with the oo and ew diphthong sounds.
Engaging, effective, and fun - this Rabbit and the Moon Man reader’s theater script is a fantastic way to boost fluency and reading confidence in developing readers!
