From Independence to Oregon

Join a family who travels across the Oregon Trail and reenact the efforts, experiences, and hardships of those who traveled the trail many years ago. This leveled script allows teachers to use differentiation strategies to assign roles to students who are at different individual reading levels. This feature allows all students to engage in the activity: participating, performing, and feeling successful while building fluency!

By performing this story with their peers, students will practice reading aloud, interacting cooperatively, and using expressive voices and gestures. An accompanying poem and song are also included in the script, providing students with additional fluency practice. All of the features in this colorful, leveled script make it the perfect tool to get all students to enjoy participating.
