Poetry? Yuck! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780743900041)

Students will act out the story of two boys who have to write poems for school. With the help of their siblings, these boys discover that poetry isn't always "yucky." Poetry can also be fun, smart, silly, and funny! 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. This script also features an accompanying poem and song to give readers additional fluency practice. These drama scripts for students are a great way to teach literacy and engage all learners!
