Little Red Riding Hood 

Students will act out the classic story of Little Red Riding Hood, a young girl in a red cloak who goes to the woods to visit her grandma. She meets a wolf along the way and tells him where she’s going. When she gets to grandma’s house, grandma doesn’t look like she usually looks. This Reader’s Theater script features roles written to match multiple reading levels. Teachers can assign specific roles to their readers based on each student’s current reading level, allowing all students to get involved in the same activity and feel successful! Students will gain confidence in their reading fluency through performance, regardless of their current reading ability. While performing with others, students will practice performance, interacting cooperatively, reading aloud, and using expressive voices and gestures to better tell the story. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
