Snow-White and Rose-Red | Reader's Theater Script | Brothers Grimm

Snow-White and Rose-Red Readers Theater Script engages students in an interactive story instead of reading a third person narrative. This activity helps improves reading fluency, speed, accuracy, and expression while developing listening and speaking skills as students actively practice expressive voice acting.

Script Summary:

In this story, two kind sisters—Snow-White and Rose-Red—live with their mother in a humble cottage. They care for each other and share all things, including adventures in the forest where animals trust them completely. One winter night, a polite but frosty Bear comes seeking warmth. The sisters grow fond of this gentle Bear, who visits often until spring. When he leaves, trouble arises in the forest in the form of a grumpy Dwarf. The sisters help him several times, but he’s always ungrateful. Later, the Bear returns just in time to save the sisters from the Dwarf’s greed. The Bear’s fur tears away, revealing he’s really a Prince under a curse. Freed at last, the Prince marries Snow-White, his brother marries Rose-Red, and both sisters live happily, proving kindness and honesty lead to great rewards. The moral of the story is “Gentleness Triumphs”.
