Hey Cathy--haven't heard from you in a long time.  I asked our reading
specialist your question and she said, "I really never had any specific
scripts...I always took whatever narrative
story my students were reading, assigned parts(narrator, characters,etc) and
let the students work out the script. That way they were reviewing the
vocabulary, re-reading (repeated reading) their parts of the script...and
that consequently supported fluency and comprehension."

Maybe that helps?  I liked the idea of letting the students work out the
script, anyway....
Patti
