Martin Luther King Jr.'s granddaughter, Yolanda Renee King, provides the perfect companion to her grandfather's "I Have a Dream Speech." We Dream a World, as a reader's theatre, is a perfect companion to add to your MLK unit study.

Using Yolanda Renee King's We Dream a World reader's theatre, 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!

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.
