Mo Willems' Pigeon Books Reader's Theatre; No Prep Reading Fluency Practice
$5
Watch the Preview
Do your students love Mo Willems and his Pigeon books as much as mine?
They will love presenting Mo Willems’ Pigeon Books Reader’s Theatre! Use my No-Prep Reader’s Theatre and activities as a way to practice reading fluency while enjoying four of our favorite Pigeon books.
Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus,
The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog,
The Duckling Gets a Cookie, and
The Pigeon Needs a Bath.
Using Mo Willems’ Caldecott Honor Book Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, along with three other books, your students will get to enjoy high-quality literature while working on important speaking, presentation, and fluency skills. The great part is that even your struggling readers will love it! Fluency skills are easily practiced while allowing all students an opportunity to succeed.
Included in my Reader’s Theatre packet is an explanation behind the use of Reader’s Theatre, suggestions on how to implement it in your classroom, and specific teaching instructions regarding these books. In addition, I always include some fun independent work activities!
When I used these in my classroom I would typically have more than one group present each script. I ensured every student in the class had a part, regardless of how many times I had to re-use a script.
Enjoy this No-PREP Reader’s Theatre! It is perfect for elementary classrooms! Simply copy the script, assign the parts, and enjoy the practice, presentation, and related reading activities.
Teaching is hard. I hope I can help with my No-Prep Reader’s Theatre and activities!

Hi, I’m Kim! I’m an educator with a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Elementary Education and more than 30 years of classroom experience.
I started The Literature Lady because I wanted to make reading come alive for students—and make lesson planning a lot easier for teachers. I create resources that were way too time-consuming to create while teaching full-time, so that now you don’t have to! My passion is creating engaging, low-prep resources, such as novel studies, Word Noodle vocabulary games, and reader’s theatre scripts, that help kids fall in love with books while building real skills.
When I’m not writing or designing new lessons, you’ll find me teaching right here on the TeacherStore.io community platform! The Young Scholar Academy is an online small group learning community that teaches homeschool students in grades 1-8. We teach core classes, electives, one-on-one tutoring, and so much more! As Tiffany would say, "Come for the classes, stay for the community!"
I am also a fun of reading, baking, traveling, or hanging out with my husband, our two college-aged sons, and our dogs, Maisie and Sophie.
