Dramatic Reader for Lower Grades

"Dramatic Reader for Lower Grades" by Florence Holbrook is a collection of plays that brings famous stories to life for young children. Adapted for classroom reading and performance, the book transforms familiar tales like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Cinderella," along with original fables, into engaging dialogues. Designed to spark creativity and cultivate empathy, the plays invite young children to imaginatively step into the shoes of their favorite characters, expressing their voices and embodying their manners. In the play "Little Red Riding-Hood," the reader meets an innocent, cheerful girl on her way to see her grandmother, highlighting the delights and possible perils that await her. The writer hopes that children will enjoy the opportunity to grow into their selected roles.
