TOP SECRET PROGRAM
Psst! Want a great way to hook kids into reading while teaching important concepts about geography? If so, TOP SECRET is for you.

Top Secret Program

Join Secret Agent Edward as he takes young readers on an amazing mission solving clues that lead to tons of learning and fun in the library. Students will discover cryptic messages (Dewey Decimal numbers) that help them interpret maps, charts and photographs as they explore the world around them.

Educational Specialist
An educational specialist, Edward combines his unique blend of “education and entertainment” to creatively teach young readers. Using magic tricks, drama, puppets, stories, and music Edward makes reading and learning fun!

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 Edward 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 Bookmark” 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 pockets? 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.

Benefits of the TOP SECRET production:

· supports statewide learning objectives in geographic relationships
· motivates children to read books
· integrates geography and reading with daily life
· increases circulation of library books
