Imagine getting the entire student body excited about reading and using the library! In this funny, high-energy 45-minute show I use amazing tricks, storytelling, and audience participation to celebrate the wonderful world of reading and the magic found in books.
During the show, I highlight a fun assortment of contemporary and classic books – fiction and non-fiction – that students will be able to find in your school’s media center.
‘The Magic of Reading’ is the perfect kick-off for your PARP, DEAR, or other reading program since it can be easily customized to teach the students about your program’s goals, record-keeping procedures, and rewards. It’s also a perfect finale to your reading program; a celebration of your students’ progress, and reminder of all the fun that awaits them in the books they’ve yet to read!
