INTRODUCING: Sue Russell!
I've happily connected with a new teacher/writer who is supplying my site with some extraordinary Group Read-Aloud Teaching Packages.
Divide your readers into groups, give each group a script addressing the same central teaching theme (or unit), then READ-ALOUD! The scripts may be read aloud as a classroom learning activity, or rehearsed until they are ready to perform for a special audience or your entire school. (You've heard of "learn while you earn time"? Well, this is "learn while you read" time)!
This innovative Readers Theater "Group Read-Aloud" approach is surely the way of the future for educational supplements in our schools. For more information, please click HERE.

Camouflage Critters!
New Read-Aloud Script for Elementary School Readers. What do you do when you run out of ideas for a script? Call your grandchildren! My oldest grandson, Justin, was learning about the word “camouflage” in school. He suggested the title and that got us started. Younger brother, Nicholas, joined in on the fun and we all contributed critter names, camouflage ideas, and possible rhyming words. I did a final brush-up and edit – and a new script was born! We hope you and your students enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

"Lois Walker is one of my favorite Readers’ Theater writers. The stories Walker presents are humorous and engaging, but I particularly enjoy the lyrical manner in which she writes them."
