The Constitution of the United States: Early America (Building Fluency Through Reader’s Theater)

Learn all about the foundation of our government, the Constitution of the United States, by acting out this historical script! Readers will discover the points that delegates debated while writing the Constitution. The six roles in this script match different reading levels, enabling teachers to use differentiation and English language learner strategies. These strategies allow all students to engage in the same activity, regardless of their current reading level. All students can feel successful and can gain confidence in their reading fluency. Students can also practice reading aloud, interacting cooperatively, and using expressive voices and gestures while performing the story together. An accompanying poem and song give readers additional resources to practice fluency in an engaging way. This dynamic script is the perfect tool for a classroom of varied readers!
