Read, Laugh & Perform: Readers’ Theater Scripts for Grades 2–3 | 78-Page Printable PDF

Bring stories to life with eight original readers’ theater scripts full of funny problems, memorable characters, and opportunities to read together!

Designed for grades 2–3, Read, Laugh & Perform gives students practice with expressive reading, comprehension, listening, and teamwork. Each story includes five speaking roles and four scenes—no props, costumes, or memorization required.

From a robot who takes directions literally to a classroom pet who wants a vacation, these stories give students a reason to reread, rehearse, and share.
