When students are engaged, excited, and motivated to read, then I think the assembly met the goals of a great educational experience." Debra L. Ciaccio, Principal Prairie School, Orland Park, IL - - - Youve never seen a reading show like this. In Books Are Full of Magic Words, the books themselves become the stars. Each of the programs nine routines either illustrates the plot of an engaging work of childrens literature, or demonstrates key themes of literacy development. Students will learn: How Dr. Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham with only 50 different words The value of a library card The difference between fiction and non-fiction How reading expands their minds The plots of books by Gordon Korman, Roald Dahl, and J.K. Rowling And more! While your students absorb those lessons, theyll all participate in making the magic happen. Theyll fill a bucket with hundreds of half dollars and learn Roald Dahl's silly magical spell to grow a stuffed tortoise. In the end they'll watch one of their classmates float in thin air, three feet off the ground! And theyll laugh along, from start to finish, with age-appropriate humor designed to keep them dialed in. In other words - students have far too much fun to realize theyre learning. - - - "Enjoyable and worth the money." Linda Goedke, Principal Beecher Elementary, Beecher, IL "The program made me feel that I wasnt just providing amusement, but that you were helping to reinforce our mission." Laura Jenkins, Children's Librarian Chicago Public Library, Uptown Branch
