I love to read and I learned most of my magic tricks from reading books. I have over 400 books in my library on the the art of magic.
I worked several schools already this month to promote reading and literacy with my motivational reading magic show. I have toured this program throughout the country over the past 29 years motivating young readers to get excited about the library.
A recent show was enjoyed by 5th graders and one of the teachers sent me this. It expands on the value of reading to young children.
“Whenever an adult reads to a child, three important things are happening simultaneously and painlessly: (1) a pleasure connection is being made between child and book, (2) both parent and child are learning something from the book they’re sharing, and (3) the adult is pouring sounds and syllables called words into the child’s ear.”
- Jim Trelease, The Read Aloud Handbook
After my show I also read from my new novel – sort of a Nancy Drew, Mystery type story with comedy added throughout. It was fun to write. She said the 5th graders were very enthusiastic about the story.
