Can you help me with a small project to help enhance reading for my first grader student who is struggling? I prefer this to be hands-on.

This resource focuses on enhancing students' reading fluency and comprehension by engaging them in the creation and performance of a puppet show based on a simple story. It emphasizes the imaginative process of character design and storytelling while providing a structure to outline character traits and plot development across the beginning, middle, and end of the story. Students are encouraged to use creative materials to craft their puppets and practice voice modulation to convey emotions effectively during the performance. The guide includes tips on puppet-making, planning the show, and performance techniques to ensure an engaging and educational experience.
