The Magic of Reading

THE MAGIC OF READING! assembly program is a high energy, fun-filled, educational show that utilizes magic, storytelling, puppetry and lots of audience participation to teach your students about the media center, the proper care of books, and the magic of reading.  Each program runs 30-45 minutes.  During the program Richard talks about the different types of books available.  Richard also show them that reading can be an adventure as he stresses the following three points:

1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ EVERY DAY,
2. YOU CAN GROW UP TO BE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE IF YOU ARE A GOOD READER, and
3. YOU NEED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR BOOKS.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS:

     The magic words, "I LOVE TO READ", are repeated several times by the children throughout the program.  This program is full of surprises, smiles, and good clean fun for the children. During the program--much to everyone's surprise and delight--Richard brings out his special assistant SNOWBALL, a real-live, Netherlands dwarf rabbit.  As Richard and Snowball complete the program they review the three main points.  This program also increases the awareness of your students to the many opportunities that their library has to offer through books, videos, music, and special programming.

Workshops

THE MAGIC WORKSHOP is an optional, 30 minute workshop that reinforces the central messages and themes of the Magic of Reading assembly program.  The workshops are limited to up to 30 students per workshop.  I can complete up to four workshops for your 4th-6th graders.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WORKS:

     Richard starts by giving the students an opportunity to ask questions about the art of magic.  From there he goes on to teach the students sequential learning skills  by showing his students how to break down a magic trick in steps in order to accomplish it.  Can you imagine the excitement when the magic happens right in your students' hands?  Richard ends the workshop with a motivational message about a one-handed magician and then reminds the students that they can be anything that they want to be in life with hard work and persistence.
