I use these silly scripts as a simple but fun way for my students to practice their sight words and vowel rules, as well as fluency, together. We practice them in costume during small group, then the script transfers to the dramatic play station: a station with texts, costumes and roles for them to play while practicing reading skills. More products related to starting or adding this station in your class will be available in my store. :) This set includes five stories including 3-4 roles in each. They include princesses, knights, dragons, singers, etc. Let me know if you have any questions and please leave follow me for more engaging products like this :) Enjoy!

Each of the15 scripts in each book is accompanied by background information, extension activities (including literature connections), and discussion questions. 112 pages, softcover. Grades: 5-8.

"The Gift of the Magi” is a traditional re-telling of the endearing story of a husband and wife who pawn their most precious things in order to buy gifts for one another, only to discover the gifts are no longer needed. The original story was written by William Sydney Porter, who wrote under the pen-name “O. Henry.” He was famous for plot twists and surprise endings. This reader’s theater adaption originally appeared in the Nov./Dec. 2001 issue of Storyworks, the Dec. 2010 issue of Scope, and in the collection: Read Aloud Plays: Classic Short Stories. (Scholastic 2010). It includes parts for nine actors, and comes with two comprehension activities (which can also be downloaded for free as a Google Form on TeachersPayTeachers). Use "The Gift of the Magi" with grades 3 through 7 as reader’s theater, a radio drama/podcast, or full stage performance. Perfect for the holiday season! Be sure to check out my other holiday plays including "A Christmas Carol", "Gabriel Grub" and "Escape from the Blacking House." All my plays include public school performance rights and the license to print a full class set.

About the Book A shimmering jewel of a book about writing from two-time Booker Prize finalist Deborah Levy, to publish alongside her new work of nonfiction, The Cost of Living Book Synopsis A shimmering jewel of a book about writing from two-time Booker Prize finalist Deborah Levy, to publish alongside her new work of nonfiction, The Cost of Living. Blending personal history, gender politics, philosophy, and literary theory into a luminescent treatise on writing, love, and loss, Things I Don't Want to Know is Deborah Levy's witty response to George Orwell's influential essay "Why I Write." Orwell identified four reasons he was driven to hammer at his typewriter--political purpose, historical impulse, sheer egoism, and aesthetic enthusiasm--and Levy's newest work riffs on these same commitments from a female writer's perspective. As she struggles to balance womanhood, motherhood, and her writing career, Levy identifies some of the real-life experiences that have shaped her novels, including her family's emigration from South Africa in the era of apartheid; her teenage years in the UK where she played at being a writer in the company of builders and bus drivers in cheap diners; and her theater-writing days touring Poland in the midst of Eastern Europe's economic crisis, where she observed how a soldier tenderly kissed the women in his life goodbye. Spanning continents (Africa and Europe) and decades (we meet the writer at seven, fifteen, and fifty), Things I Don't Want to Know brings the reader into a writer's heart. Review Quotes "A lively, vivid account of how the most innocent details of a writer's personal story can gain power in fiction." - New York Times Book Review "Profound." - Los Angeles Times "[Levy] is a skilled wordsmith and creates an array of intense emotions and moods in precise, controlled prose." - The Independent (UK) "A vivid, striking account of a writer's life." - The Spectator (UK) "Powerful." - New Statesman (UK) "An up-to-date version of 'A Room of One's Own', and, like the Virginia Woolf essay, I suspect it will be quoted for many years to come." - Irish Examiner "Levy successfully weaves historical, political, and personal threads together to form a nuanced account of her life and why she writes. Her graceful memoir/essay emphasizes a woman's need to speak out even if she has to use a quiet voice. For feminists and memoir enthusiasts." - Library Journal "Rather than, say, telling the reader to show rather than tell, [Levy] declines to tell us anything and then shows us a great deal. What results is much more valuable than any literal writing guide or any literal response to Orwell would have been. It certainly has greater political import." - Biographile "Few essayists have the courage and talent to go head-to-head with George Orwell. Deborah Levy's response to Orwell's iconic piece "Why I Write" is at once a feminist call to arms, a touching memoir of small moments, and a guide to writing fiction from one of literature's bravest rulebreakers." - Barnes & Noble Review About the Author Deborah Levy, FRSL, writes fiction, plays, and poetry. Her work has been staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company, widely broadcast on the BBC, and translated into fourteen languages. The author of highly praised novels, including Hot Milk and Swimming Home (both Man Booker Prize finalists), The Unloved, and Billy and Girl, and the story collection Black Vodka, she lives in Londo
