This Reader's Theater is a companion activity to the book “The Night Before My Birthday” by Natasha Wing. It will enable the children to enjoy the story even more as well as increase reading fluency and speaking skills.

About the Book

The Night Before My Birthday captures all the excitement and anticipation that every child experiences in the lead-up to their special day. The decorations are up, the table is set, and the food is ready - but what happens when there is an ice cream emergency? Once again Natasha Wing has written a story that is sure to appeal to every child getting ready for a birthday. The book is told by and seen through the eyes of the birthday child, so it is gender neutral and a fun gift for any birthday girl or boy

There are two versions included. One version has roles for three students and the other version has roles for four students. Both versions are 4 pages. Please not that the last page of the book was omitted as it did not flow properly with the reader's theater.

I hope you enjoy using this reader’s theater with your students.
