Fundations-Aligned Partner Reader's Theater · Level 1 Unit 13

2 partner reader's theater scripts for Fundations® Level 1, Unit 13: “Bugs for Lunch” and “The Fish in the Sock”. Each script is written for two readers, Partner A and Partner B. Every word is decodable through Unit 13 or is a taught trick word, so partners can read the script on their own.

Each script opens with a watercolor cover scene that shows the two parts. The script itself is about 20 lines (20 per script), split evenly between Partner A and Partner B, with a few lines both partners read together. After reading, a Think and Talk page has 4 multiple-choice questions plus a “say it with feeling” fluency line, and a Write About It page has 3 written questions to answer in whole sentences. A one-page answer key covers both scripts.

Scripts in this unit:
• “Bugs for Lunch”: Fran (a kid) and Chad (a kid), 20 lines
• “The Fish in the Sock”: Jill (a kid) and Seth (a kid), 20 lines
