This reader's theater was written for a small group of 4 students. The entire script is told in rhyme and the words that rhyme are in bold.

This is why I have taken some of the poems and made them into reader’s theaters. In the script, I have taken Winken, Blinken, and Nod and kept it in rhyme but enhanced it so that it makes it more of a journey. They
