by Janet Burchett and Sara Vogler
Published 20 January 2000
The play, The Proper Princess Test (at Independent Reading: A, for 7-8 year olds) is one of ten playscript adaptations of existing Cambridge Reading stories. The plays are ideal for group/guided reading sessions, providing an excellent means for practising reading, speaking and listening skills within a supportive group context. They can be used to deliver all the NLS objectives for plays, especially 'focus on play adaptation' and 'comparison of genre'. The plays are also available in group-reading packs, with accompanying teacher's notes, co-authored by Nick Warburton (an experienced playwright and children's author) and Jennie Dunn (a practising teacher and drama specialist), comprehensively covering the NLS requirements for study of plays as well as offering general guidance on reading and performing the plays in the classroom.
Cambridge Reading is a major reading scheme which provides stimulating books and support materials for the teaching of reading and the development of literacy throughout the primary years.
The Proper Princess Test is an amusing retelling of The Princess and the Pea. How did the princess manage to climb on top of all those mattresses? What did the prince think about marrying the princess? If you want to know what really happened read on! The Proper Princess Test is one of thirteen books that make up Independent Reading Level A, for children in Year 3/Primary 4. This phase of Cambridge Reading aims to extend children's experience of fiction and motivate them to enjoy reading. The Proper Princess Test provides children with a good introduction to the short story form and will help to improve their independence as readers. The comic use of already familiar material will appeal to children.
