Rumplestiltskin Readers Theater scripts make it easy to build reading fluency while keeping students engaged in a familiar, high-interest story. With two leveled versions included, you can support both emerging and fluent readers—no extra prep needed. The scripts are already highlighted, come with printable puppets and name tags, and include a Google Slides version for flexible classroom use. It’s a simple way to get meaningful fluency practice into your routine.
You’ll also get two helpful guides to walk you through every step: Getting the Most Out of Your Readers Theater Scripts covers setup tips and classroom routines, while How to Use the Google Slides Version offers directions and ideas on how to implement digital Readers Theater practice.
The Rumplestiltskin Readers Theater scripts take the guesswork out of planning and make fluency practice truly effective. With differentiated roles, it’s easy to meet your students where they are, while the pre-highlighted lines help them stay on track and read with confidence. Puppets and nametags add an extra layer of engagement—especially helpful for encouraging participation from quieter readers.
Rumplestiltskin works especially well for Readers Theater because of its strong character voices and clear storyline. The repetitive dialogue between the characters and Rumplestiltskin gives students plenty of chances to practice expression and fluency.
