6 Scripts - Fun Small Group Reader's Theaters for First Grade Level Readers
This group of scripts was written for my lower level reading groups. They are all on a 1st grade level. The number of characters goes from 3 to 5.

Three of them are fairy tales. There is a small writing/discussion prompt at the end
