Here's what teachers like you had to say about using these partner play scripts:

⭐️ Chloe C. said, "These are a small group favorite! I have made them part of my small group routine throughout the year! I love the different seasonal options, my students LOVE seeing the ones for the new month."

⭐️ Carissa S. said, "This was my first time using partner plays and I am now hooked! My students started reading with more fluency as they continued to read. This was also a HUGE help for expression while reading."

⭐️ Christine W. said, "My students always love Deb's partner reads. Each partner read typically has two characters which is perfect to keep kids engaged and not waiting too long until it is their time to read. The comprehension questions that come with the partner reads are wonderful, as well."

⭐️ Melissa S. said, "This is an engaging way to practice reading fluency. My special education students beg to do partner plays and readers' theater. I often have difficulty finding scripts for my small groups. I love that each script is written for just a few students and they are differentiated too! I will use this resource for years to come!"

⭐️ Jennifer K. said, "My 3rd grade students LOVED these partner plays! It was the perfect activity for my reluctant readers to practice fluency and expression. My higher students took it to the next level by thinking of different titles, and continuing the next few lines."
