Birch School students were thrilled by Prismatic Magic’s Laser Reader show, which served as the kickoff to this year’s Pick A Reading Partner (PARP) event. The theme for Birch PARP this year is “Birch Readers Are Laser-Focused.”  During the two-week event, students are logging minutes that they have read, playing word games and visiting the Merrick Library with a partner from home.

Prismatic Magic’s Laser Reader show uses laser illustrations to show young readers how to use the mind’s eye to imagine places, characters and ideas. You can get a glimpse of the Birch show here.
