How to have a reading motivation program that school staff and kids just love!

Hi all.

If you are looking for a great way to close out the school year for your staff, teachers and kids, I have something you might be interested in. I was just at Double Adobe Elementary School in McNeal, Arizona and they loved it!

My current school assembly program is a reading motivation show and features both educational comedy magic and ventriloquism, so you get two performers in one (oh lucky you!). The show runs about 45-60 minutes. Among other content, children learn about our need to read for our brain to grow correctly, personal examples regarding how books are important to them, being responsible for their books, the excitement of reading, the importance of being persistent in reaching our reading goals, and are introduced to books related to magic and ventriloquism (I'll provide you with a bibliography so you can have the books on display if you have them or others currently in your shelves).

Fees vary depending on location, travel expenses, show content requests and other factors. Discounts are indeed available for booking multiple same day shows. For example, in Cochise county where I am, librarians, school staff and I often work together to provide two or more programs on a given day as part of a package arrangements. Other possibilities for venues are churches, schools, after school programs and the like. Costs are reduced by booking multiple shows. I can work with you to negotiate a package suited especially for you and your school.
