The 3 R’s – Mr. Jim’s Reading Show

“Very entertaining! The assemblies were age appropriate for our Young-5s through 5th grade.”

“Highly engaging and dynamic! He expertly infused magic into his message, about the skills necessary in becoming an author, and motivated students to use their senses and imaginations in their writing.”

“Delightful! I would recommend him for any age school assembly.”

As an author (“Magical Secrets” and “Magicians in the Making”), Mr. Jim knows the importance of Reading, wRiting, aRithmetic (the 3Rs)–as well as other skills, like drawing. His work has been praised by librarians and masterful magicians alike.

In these grade-by-grade or multiple assembly presentations, Mr. Jim explains why every element of the 3Rs is important. Step-by-step, the children see how a book comes to life, beginning with a few sheets of paper.

Of course, our ability to write depends on our knowledge of the alphabet, and learning to create words that will fill a book. Students and teachers participate with Mr. Jim in demonstrating the exercises.

No book has been written without the help of math. Students discover how math plays an important part in creating, publishing, and selling a book. (Did you know: most magic tricks are dependent on math, in one form or another?)
