Each script is two pages and the perfect length for students reading on a kindergarten, first grade or second grade level. All words that are contained in each play are written out on the first page. This allows you to ensure that your students will be able to decode the words in each play.
Each play includes a “Get Ready to Read” page that includes the title of the play, the skill focus, the character, and the setting. It also includes a list of all phonics skill focused words and other words included in the story. Lastly, it includes a “words to know” section that includes 3 words in the story that might be unfamiliar. A picture cue is provided.
Each play script is two pages long. This allows you to print them back to back if you wish. Have students highlight their parts to make reading easier. Most plays have characters that are not gendered so any student can play each role.
Each play includes an optional headband template for students to use. Both color and black and white headband pieces are included. You can have students color the black and white version or just use the color version. Simple print out the page, cut out the pieces, and tape or staple them to a strip of construction paper or a sentence strip.
Two versions are included for easy printing. The original version includes each play script followed by the black and white and colored headbands. The second version has all of the play scripts first, followed by the black and white headbands, followed by the colored headbands. This makes for easy printing choices for you!
Why decodable plays?
Research shows us that using decodable texts is the most effective way to help children practice the phonics and reading skills they have learned so far. When choosing a decodable text, take into account the phonics sound patterns the child has learned as well as the irregularly spelled words they have been taught. Keep in mind that research shows that a text does not need to be 100 percent decodable to be an effective tool, and, if you are choosing a text that is not completely aligned to your scope and sequence, your students might encounter some sounds or words they have not yet learned. This is where you can use the Get Ready to Read page as a valuable tool to assess if your students are ready for the play and to look at some potential new sounds and words together before reading.
