Each play should be read by six pupils, helping foster playtime, collaboration and turn-taking, while also building fluency and literacy.
Fun storylines, illustrations and characters boost engagement and enjoyment around reading.
Colour coded content helps pupils stay on track and confidently play their part.
Rhyme and repetition encourage better comprehension, and more fluent communication.
All readers get a chance to speak, and have a go trying every part – with each part popping up throughout each play, and less confident readers able to follow on from more confident peers.
Short story lengths maximise chances to repeat the plays in class, and limit the possibility of distractions.
Shy readers feel empowered by playing a part, and getting inside a role.
Interactive eBook versions are also available, allowing pupils to pick the part they want to play while other parts are read back to them.
