| Summary | "Dramatic Reader for Lower Grades" by Florence Holbrook is a collection of plays designed for young children, written in the early 20th century. The book features a variety of well-known stories adapted into dialogue form, making it suitable for classroom reading and theatrical performance. The primary aim is to engage children’s imaginations by encouraging them to embody different characters—ranging from classic tales like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Cinderella" to original fables and folklore—while promoting understanding and empathy. At the start of the collection, the author expresses her hope that children will enjoy putting themselves into the shoes of their favorite characters. This introduction sets the stage for the included plays, urging children to adopt the voices and manners of the roles they read. The opening portion presents the first play, "Little Red Riding-Hood," where we meet the central character, a cheerful young girl who loves visiting her grandmother. The dialogue captures her interaction with her mother as she prepares for her journey, showcasing both her innocence and the potential dangers she might encounter in the woods, particularly with the lurking wolf. This engaging format and relatable content suggest that the collection is both educational and entertaining for young readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
