Long ago, the monkeys of Japan loved to play all year long, except in winter. The winters were very cold, the trees were bare and everything was covered in snow and ice. One cold day they discovered something amazing that changed how they survived the winters. With the hot spring swimming hole they could play in winter too! This exciting Reader's Theater script gives everyone an opportunity to succeed as it offers differentiated roles with various reading levels. Additionally, a list of Tips for Performing Reader's Theater helps students develop good stage presence, interact cooperatively with peers, and talk with feeling and meaning. With a glossary to deepen vocabulary and an accompanying poem and song, this four-act leveled script is the perfect tool to increase student fluency, comprehension, and content literacy in science.
