Magical Reading Adventures
As educators and parents, many of us appreciate the value of encouraging children to develop a life-long enjoyment for reading. Besides increasing our academic knowledge about the world around us, reading for pleasure allows students to consider possibilities about their own lives.
To encourage daily reading, magician Dave Thomen presents MAGICAL READING ADVENTURES. During the program, he performs magic with audience participation to highlight the different genres of books students can read and how reading sparked his own creativity.
This program is ideal to promote your book fair or reading incentive programs. Dave will adapt his repertoire of banter and illusions for elementary or middle school age students.
In addition to this reading show, Dave has theme programs in character education, science and math.
