Hot Book


"Reading is HOT STUFF
at River Elm School!

An ordinary deck of cards

Volunteer picks a card, shows it to the audience...

... the card is slipped back in the deck which is then shuffled.

This card will jump!
... but only if it is
tapped 3 times by
the
Magic Wand!

Will the card disappear
behind the bamboo screen?


YES!


When Mr. had steps out
a student selects a letter.


No?...Maybe?...Yes?
Can Mr. Chan guess which letter was secretly selected in his absence?

... YES, three times in a row!

MAGIC SQUARES

How did Mr. Chan do it?
All the sums were = 75!
... and Mr. Chan did it
in 10 seconds flat!

Which cup has the water?
Where did it go?

...in thin air...?

The Grand Finale
Reading is exciting
like fireworks
at River Elm School


Reading with a BANG!
