Being a Star Makes Reading in the Classroom Powerful and Fun!
Playbooks are designed to be read aloud, like a play, and create a powerful and effective group-reading activity for the classroom through a facilitated "reader's theater" format. Each character's dialogue appears in a different color, and is written and adaptable to several readability levels. This allows teachers to integrate their student reading groups, giving every student the opportunity to read with confidence and to be a star! (Edited for readability by credentialed teachers).
