What other Teachers are saying about my Reader's Theaters...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Helen B. says “My kindergarten classes loved this resource during our Drama unit. It was very easy to navigate through and set up initially. They loved the stories and creating puppets/characters. The scripts were at their reading level and the choices and selections are worth it. I can't wait to use it again this year.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Morgon Elliot says “I bought this and we have used it every week since school started! Love it!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Alyssa B. says “We have officially begun using these in kindergarten and my kids are having so much fun. It's easy to read, the pictures are clear and helpful, and the text is still funny/engaging enough to be entertaining. Thanks!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Mark L. says “Strong picture support and repetition were perfect to help my very beginning readers practice their fluency. They had so much fun! Thank you!”
