Dr. Seuss was a master of words and entrancing children.

Horton Hears a Who! as a Reader’s Theatre will have all your students begging to spend more time on reading. The activities included in the packet will enhance their experience and add a little fun too!

My lower/struggling readers love Reader’s Theatre as much as my high readers. Horton Hears a Who! is a classic with lots of humor, fun parts, and a very important message.

Students will work on fluency, oral presentation skills, finding the emotion of a character, and learning the art of telling a story using this Reader’s Theatre and activities.

Covers the following Reading standards:
· Knowledge level understanding including fact recall
· Character analysis
· Identify key plot points.

· Set a Purpose for Reading
· Group work and cooperation

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.
