It is important to get students to read as much as possible. What they read does not always have to be a book.
Children can read anything: plays, poetry, chants, and short stories, just to name a few. I have listed a few additional
readings for students below.
- Poetry- http://www.gigglepoetry.com/
- Short stories- http://www.apples4theteacher.com/short-stories.html
- Plays-
- Davis, Ossie. Escape to freedom
- Day, Clarence. Life with father
- Goodrich, Frances. The diary of Anne Frank
- Once Upon a Mattress
- Our Town
- Simon, Neil. Lost in Yonkers
- Smith, Ronn. Nothing but the truth.
- The Miracle Worker =
- Van Druten, John. I Remember Mama : a play in two acts.
- Wilde, Oscar. The Importance of being Earnest
- One act plays:
- Aria da Capo (Edna St. Vincent Millay)
- The Ugly Duckling (A.A. Milne) a witty farce in which the royals try to marry off their
"ugly" daughter. This one is in an old volume of one-acts edited by Bennett Cerf, and there are many other appropriate ones
in there.
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (yes, it was adapted into a one-act)
