How can I use these Decodable Partner Plays in my classroom?
- Partner literacy centers: Once taught the routine, this can easily become an independent partner literacy center in your classroom.
- Individual option: Puppets are included so students have the option of reading and performing each play on their own.
- Small groups: Use the partner plays as an alternative to decodable readers.
- Dramatic play: An optional Decodable Theater set up is included to help you create a meaningful and educational dramatic play theater.
- Classroom performances: Create a family performance night or just put on play performances for your own class!
About the plays:
Each play script is 3 pages long and can be printed front and back if desired. Partners will read the dialogue back and forth. They contain the characters at the top and character icons with highlighting to help students keep their place. Optional character hats, name tags, or puppets are included to help students act out the story.
About the extras:
Mini decodable books are included of each story. These books include the character dialogue. Students can use these mini decodable readers to follow along with the partner plays, or to take home and read to their families.
What are teachers saying?
What are other teachers saying?
“My students loved this resource! I am an interventionist and my students are low academically. They all did a great job using their skills to work through each word. The visuals were great for my ELL students!”
“These plays were the perfect practice for skills during the busy build-up to the holidays. I look forward to using more plays both in the classroom and as ways to showcase fluency and fun to parents and loved ones.”
