Decodable Partner Plays | Reader's Theater

I used these partner plays with students I work with during reading intervention groups. For the most part, they were enjoyable. The students liked taking turns being different parts. Most of the time, the plays were aligned to the specific phonics pattern or skill that was denoted. However, for the earlier phonics skills, I felt like the plays were just a little too long for my students. But the majority of the students I used this with had a Specific Learning Disability in reading, so they would probably be great for students who do not struggle quite as much with reading.

These were great for my small groups and fast finishers.

Reader's theaters are the BEST way to practice fluency, review vocabulary, and have fun! This goes great with our UFLI lessons. We used these all year! Sooooo worth the money!!!

My students absolutely love these partner plays! They're engaging, easy to implement, and provide meaningful practice with decoding, fluency, and comprehension. A fantastic Science of Reading-aligned resource that keeps students motivated and reading with confidence.

This resource was appropriate for the grade level. The activities were well organized and easy to implement.

My students really enjoy learning and practicing these mini-plays together. They are developing voice and gaining confidence in their reading!

Great collection of decodable plays to work on fluency.

This was an excellent resource for those early finishers.

My students love using these! A great resource for fluency practice!

My students love completing these partner plays with a friend. I love that they are decodable. I switch out the plays based on our current skills allowing all students to be successful. The optional worksheets helps with comprehension also. It is a very engaging center activity for my students!

The picture character icons and color coding of text helped the students stay on track for their turn in reading the scripts.

Students are interested and motivated with this engaging reading experience.

Good for students who needed their learning extended to show growth. A fun way to practice.

These are great way to have partner reading in a different way.

As we shifted to more intense phonics instruction in our intervention groups, it was nice to still be able to do one of the things students enjoyed the most...reader's theater.

I have absolutely loved using these decodable plays with my students! They are short and easy to practice but also include a lot of good teaching moments. For example, we read one today that had a tram in it and I was able to introduce context clues to my students and they were able to figure out that a tram must be some kind of vehicle. These plays are fun and they were perfect for my lower groups who needed that decodable support still, but also the added comprehension piece. I also love the front page with all of the words to highlight and practice before reading, as well as the additional props. These are the best!

Finally--a reader's theater set my intervention groups can use!

My students loved these. It was just what I was looking for. No matter what, it always seems that when we are doing reader's theater, it is hard to find just the right stories with just the right number of parts. Doing readers theater with a partner is so fun.

Perfect combination of partner plays, which my students love, and the comprehension questions to go with it.

Great resource for alignment to syllable type for additional fluency practice. HIghly engaging for students.

This is a great way to practice reading skills with my class. They enjoyed that it was different than our normal readers.

This is the PERFECT small reading group activity for 4th quarter! Reader's Theater that matches our phonics patterns is a MAGICAL resource! Students are 100% engaged with reading and they are growing leaps and bounds!

This is such an engaging way to practice fluency and comprehension. I bought it when I taught first grade, but it is much more suited to my second grader's skills this year.

Great product. My students love working with a partner with the readers theater.

Thank you for this wonderful resource! I will use it for many years in my classroom!

My students love using these! I love that they are easy to print out and correspond directly to what we are learning in phonics. Thank you!

I needed a way to add voice and choice to fluency practice. These plays have been the perfect answer!

My students love reading these when we are really ready to focus on fluency and prosody at this point of the year!

This resource allowed for all my students to be successful during our dramatic literature unit.

My group of advanced readers really enjoyed this resource during literacy centers. They loved becoming the characters!

Thank you, this resource was really helpful to enforce concept learning for my ESL students!

My students enjoyed this activity and thought our class flew by. Having them engaged in learning is awesome, thank you!
