The Lorax: Dr. Seuss Reader's Theatre Activity- Fluency Practice
$5
Watch the Preview
Your students will be begging to be Thing 1, The Lorax, and the Once-ler in this 20-page Reader’s Theatre of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss.
Working on fluency while also working on presentation skills is a quick way to inject some fun into your classroom while enjoying this classic Dr. Seuss book.
The Lorax script is written for 15 students but can be flexible down to 4 students and as many as 28. I have provided instructions and suggestions on how to do this in the packet. The Reader’s Theatre script will be best in upper elementary classrooms, as it is a longer script with more difficult Dr. Seuss-style words.
You will also find some fun no-prep independent or small group activities in the packet. I include those things that my students love: coloring pages, puzzles, and word searches!
Covers the following Reading standards:
· Knowledge level understanding including fact recall
· Identify key plot points.
· Fluency
· Oral Presentation Skills
· Set a Purpose for Reading
· Group work and cooperation
· Dramatic Presentations

Reader's Theater for The Lorax
My students (5th grade) loved doing this. I like the fact that my students could practice this several times and then take a grade for it. I will use it again next year.

A helpful resource with minor drawbacks
This resource would be great, but for my class it did not work because my students are quite low when it comes to reading. Definitely use if you have higher level readers in your class.

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.
