Get Fired UP About Reading

Reading Is G.R.A.N.D.: (available for k-5)

This fun juggling program is geared toward the importance of reading. It’s great for National Reading Week, Dr. Suess’ Birthday, R.I.F. Week, National Library Week or any time you want an excellent program to promote reading, trying your best, not giving up and books.

Dan will share the gift of reading throughout his Reading Is GRAND program. He’ll also demonstrate how to fail successfully by trying to juggle 6 or even 7 balls. And this assembly program uses more volunteers than any of his other programs.

Do you know that only half of the worlds population can read? How are juggling and reading related? Dan had to practice to be a good reader and he had to practice to be a good juggler. You’ll see Dan juggle and read at the same time, manipulate a hat while a volunteer reads the actions, open a book where real fire leaps from the pages, and a whole lot more.

Plus Dan will also share some of his favorite juggling books and non juggling books that have helped him with his career and develop his character. Of course this program is filled with juggling, comedy, and silliness aimed to please the elementary student. (Addresses the standards for English, Language Arts/ Reading.)
