"Announcing Two Exciting Assembly Programs That Will Generate Enthusiasm And Increase Participation In Your School’s Next Reading Program – GUARANTEED!!!..."

"Great reading programs"

"Again, thank you for the great reading programs at Pitkin School today. Both the students and teachers and parents too were excited and enjoyed your show."
-Nancy Cadwallader, Pitkin School, East Hartford, CT

"...money well spent."

"My favorite part was just seeing the kids faces, especially the younger grades. They were totally captivated with everything you did. I would definitely be interested in other programs you put on. The part with Rudy was fantastic and I think really got the message across.

"Anyone booking this program will not be disappointed. Tim had the kids attention from the beginning. He really reinforced the importance of learning and reading over and over. It was exactly what we were looking for to kick off our Summer Reading Program. The older kids are harder to reach, but they really enjoyed it too. The kids were still talking about it the next day. Several of the teachers told me that they were very happy with they way he interacted with the kids.

Thank you so much Tim for the great performance. We feel that it was money well spent. You were excellent. -Pam Trinque, Union Free Public Library, Union, CT

Can you imagine how different your school would be if EVERYBODY genuinely loved reading? And not just because they had a book report to turn in or because someone was watching either. What if students actually enjoyed it? Picture a school full (or even half-full) of honest-to-goodness readers...

Crazy thought, isn’t it? But it’s also a good thought!

Unfortunately, when reality sets in, we see that television, video games, DVD’s, computers, and the Internet are all beating out books badly. I mean, it’s not even close.

If we are going to raise a generation of strong readers and thinkers, then we need to not only educate our students, but MOTIVATE them as well.

Yes we need to teach children HOW to read, but if we don't teach them to LOVE to read, then we've failed them, haven't we? People who don't love to read are simply missing out on a big part of life, wouldn't you agree?

My two exciting assembly programs will generate enthusiasm about reading throughout the entire student body. In fact, here are the specifications for each of the programs:

"I Love Reading"...

45 minutes in length.
Fun and educational for grades K-3.
Creates positive associations with reading and assigns a substantial VALUE to books and reading.
Illustrates how I learned magic from reading books (True!)
During the assembly, I lead students through the process of learning a magic trick from a book, illustrating sequential learning in action.
The fun character, "Rudy" runs into trouble when he chooses television and the Internet over books. The students help him get back on track.
The hysterical and popular frog puppet, Rupert wraps up the presentation and recaps the main points covered.

"The Magic of Reading"...

45 minutes in length.
Fun and educational for grades 4-6.
Stimulates creative thinking, imagination, and reading comprehension skills.
Drives home the importance of reading, even in the "real world".
Through role-playing, "Rudy" motivates the students to turn off the TV and pick up a good book.
Students and teachers will find the "Vanishing Bandana" routine to be a HILARIOUS highlight of the assembly.
Chock-full of magic, mind reading, storytelling, comedy, student participation, audience discussion and interaction, and more.

Both programs are perfect for summer reading kickoffs, reading rewards programs,
libraries, daytime assemblies, book fairs, etc.

A File Drawer Full of Testimonials Prove My Assembly Programs are Educational, Entertaining, and are of the Highest Quality.

People sometimes ask me, "Tim, aren’t some of those testimonials made up?" Nope. Why would I make them up when I literally have a file drawer full of signed, honest to goodness testimonial letters and evaluation forms? Besides, it’s considered fraud if you make up testimonials and you could go to jail for it!
