the word-for-word script.

play.

(silently) as they listen to the voices of talented actors and image
enhancing sound effects.
- The read-along session is followed by
appropriate activities designed to enhance comprehension and motivate
writing and discussion.
- A read-along session can easily extend the
students' learning activities to: other stories, other authors,
research projects, play writing projects, radio play production
projects, reader's theatre projects, etc. The sky is the limit.
