can they be grouped in age e.g a folder for year 6 and over a folder for year 8 and over and a folder for 10 and over (saving having to look at every single one)

  Hi Nicole, Thank you for your comment. There is a https://www.teachstarter.com/au/teaching-resource/readers-theatre-scripts-tracker/ included in this pack. This orders the scripts by reader age and gives additional details such as the roles included in each script. It may help with determining the reading level of each script a little quicker than opening each one individually. If there is anything else I can help with, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hello, These are great! But I have noticed that in 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' there are missing 'Fs' in words? I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this. Example: Line 3 Little BGG characters "I can see a lovely green ield in the distance, over the bridge." - missing the F in field Line 7 Little BGG character "It is the Little Billy Goat Gru....." - missing the ff in Gruff? Is this just my computer? Thanks

These are great. Do you have any marking guides for drama that align with the Australian curriculum?
- Stephanie (Teach Starter) · 7 years ago
  Hi Ashleigh, Thank you for your positive feedback. We don't tend to create marking guides; primarily because we are unable to cater to the wide range of assessment and reporting procedures used across schools. I hope you and your students can still benefit from using our wonderful range of Readers' Theatre scripts. Kind regards, Steph

I LOVE THESE! But I was wondering if there was any comprehension activities that went with these?
- Stephanie (Teach Starter) · 8 years ago
  Hi Carly, Thank you for the positive feedback. We haven't created any specific comprehension activities for these as yet. However, we do have some fantastic generic comprehension resources that could be used with the scripts; these can be downloaded here: https://www.teachstarter.com/learning-area/literacy/reading/reading-and-comprehension-strategies/ If you would prefer to have some specific comprehension resources for these scripts to be created by our team, you can submit a request here: https://www.teachstarter.com/request-a-resource/ Kind regards, Steph
