reader's theater scripts for middle school

Reader’s Theater is such a versatile tool for language arts teachers. Use it to engage your students, practice reading aloud, and strengthen reading comprehension. I’ve found it to be the ideal resource to work on FLUENCY, COMPREHENSION, and WORD WORK.

If you are new to reader’s theater I have blog posts that may be helpful:

  • Best Reasons to Use Reader’s Theater
  • How to Implement Reader’s Theater
  • Reader’s Theater Scripts for Middle School
  • Reader’s Theater Scripts for Upper Elementary School
  • Reader’s Theater for Middle Grades

Adding reader’s theater to your classroom instruction is easy. Grab my top rated scripts and toolkits and you’ll be ready to print and go!
