Psst!
Want
a great way to hook kids into reading? If so, I’ve got a mission for you....
Imagine being able to get your entire
student body excited about all the things they can learn in the library. Well, there are agents available that do just that.
You might have seen them in the past disguised as a cowboy and telling kids about pirates’ treasure. But we have information
now that exposes these agents' true identities. And the show is called "TOP SECRET".
This program
takes a subject that kids find irresistible, in this case secret agents and spy gadgets, combines it with magic, puppets,
and a cute bunny rabbit, and suddenly the kids are captivated.
When the presenter has their attention the subtle
teaching begins about what is possible through reading books. At the end of the show the kids are all presented with their
very own “Secret Agent I.D. Card” which has a list of their “Training Objectives”. These objectives
are a list of the subjects discussed in this program along with their Dewey Decimal numbers so the kids can find the books
in the library. How many of your students currently carry around a list of Dewey Decimal numbers in their wallets? Kids who
watch our programs do and they refer to them often as they try to read at least one book from each subject area.
