Get ready for Thanksgiving with this Reader's Theater based on the book "A Plump and Perky Turkey" by Teresa Bateman. This fun and engaging activity is perfect for those who want to get their class in the holiday spirit. With comprehension questions, vocabulary activities, and a word search. As a bonus there is also a rhyming words sheet included in this product. So let's get started and get into the holiday cheer!

Included in this resource are two versions of comprehension questions, tailored to suit different learning preferences. The short answer version encourages critical thinking and allows students to express their understanding in their own words, fostering creativity and deeper analysis. On the other hand, the multiple-choice version offers a structured approach, testing students' recall and recognition skills.

Additionally, this product includes two exciting word search puzzles, featuring words and themes from "A Plump and Perky Turkey". Word searches not only serve as a fun way to reinforce newly acquired vocabulary but also enhance visual perception and concentration skills. As a bonus, there are two coloring pages to use with your students!

About the Book

Squawk Valley find themselves without a turkey for their Thanksgiving feast. They develop a plan to trick a plump and pesky turkey to be their model before becoming their Thanksgiving meal! Unfortunately, Pete the turkey is too sly and outsmarts them all! This book pairs well with STEAM and STEM activities in your classroom or at home especially around the Thanksgiving season.

There are two versions included. One versions have roles for two students and the other versions is for three students. Each version is 4 1/4 pages.

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