When I wrote the activity guide to accompany my picture book, Shante’ Keys and the New Year’s Peas, there was a lot of good stuff in there, but one thing was missing: a Reader’s Theater script. My friend Heidi Bee recognized how appropriate my text would be for a classroom reading, but I just never got around to formalizing one. This month I finally did.
Visit my website, www.gpdavenport.com, for an absolutely FREE copy of the Reader’s Theater script. It’s not a verbatim copy of the book–it’s been finessed to allow for more speakers, plus it restored some text that was cut in editing. How cool is it that I can bring my text back from the dead?!
Check it out and feel free to pass it along to any teachers you know!

What a great idea, Gayle! And I love that you could restore some cut material to your story.

Argh! I just realized I spelled your name wrong in my last post. I’m so sorry! I have two friends named Gayle, and spelled your name that way by mistake. I’ll try to be more careful next time.
