This Reader's Theater Bundle of 6 Halloween/Horror Scripts are all based on short stories by Edgar Allan Poe. They are perfect for reading practice, small groups, stations, Halloween activities or just getting comfortable reading in public.
Each scripthas two versions differentiated for grade levels 6 to 8 and 9 to 12. The lengths vary from 700 to 1800 words giving you options for whatever time slot you have available. If you only have ~15 minutes I'd recommend using the 700~900 word versions and assign the comprehension questions for homework. If you have a full class period choose the length and difficulty suitable for your classroom.
This bundle includes the follow scripts.Check the preview files for each individual productto see high resolution samples.
