Chicago’s Best Reading Assembly For K–6 Schools
“Into Books” gets students excited to read by showing them how books can be active, immersive, and fun.
40–50 minutes per performance
Help your reluctant readers find something novel at the library
Reading doesn’t click for every student right away.
That’s why this literacy assembly focuses on books that hook reluctant readers by turning reading into an active experience.
Through mind-blowing magic, unforgettable stories, and irresistible interaction, students discover that books can be funny, mysterious, and filled with real-world impact. Suddenly the library isn’t a place they have to go—it’s a place they can’t wait to explore.
What students learn
This assembly celebrates books that demand participation. These are books where the reader has to get involved:
- 1
Mystery novels
Books that invite students to solve the case alongside the detective.
- 2
Choose-Your-Own-Adventure
Books that turn readers into decision-makers.
- 3
How-to guides and nonfiction
Books that let kids apply what they read the same day.
Every book in this assembly is a means to something fun: a mystery you get to solve; a story where you decide what the characters do; a how-to book you follow to build something in the real world. Reading is the key to fun experiences beyond words on a page.
Designed for every grade
Younger students (K–3)
Bright visuals, book-based magic, and energetic storytelling bring stories to life and make reading feel magical, as fun as a show, but with literacy at the heart.
Older students (upper elementary and middle school)
The show deepens with interactive fiction like mystery or adventure books. Students explore how reading invites choices, creativity, and problem-solving, while still enjoying impressive magic.
If your school plans to mix age groups, don’t worry, the presentation shifts its tone and interaction level on the fly to keep everyone engaged.
Kept everyone engaged… fun AND educational!
