All your students can shine thanks to the flexible casting options provided in Readers’ Theater, Grade 3. To support struggling readers, cast two or more students in each role; the extra support of choral reading can make an important difference for many students.

Refer to the Readers’ Theater Table of Contents to see how you can connect each of the 15 read-aloud scripts to key content from the Grade 3 curriculum.

Some of the scripts included are:

• “Spider Woman and the Gift of the Loom”—based on a Navajo legend
