Welcome to Read 'n' ACT

Read 'n' Act is a collection of short scripts written especially for elementary students. The scripts were initially written to provide students with incentive and encouragement to read. Students have demonstrated that the scripts are not only highly motivated to read them, but they love to read them to the class and perform them for others.
