Craig O’Neill attempts wizardry on the Reading Roadtrip

Craig makes a stop on his summer tour for 'Reading Roadtrip.'

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - It was Craig’s fourth trip to the Hillary Clinton Library this year, so Craig tried something a little different. He tried his hand at Wizardry.

Inspired by Dumbledore of Harry Potter fame (He’s about the same age). Craig attempted to change the kids in attendance into adults. It didn’t work.

He failed miserably. So he returned to his tried and true method of reading a book.

Every time a child opens a book there is a magical transformation. At every reading road trip stop, the best part comes after the book has been read and kids examine their own lives to determine how their story is similar to the one in the book.

It’s wonderful to see the hands go up. Examining how our lives are like the ones we read or hear read to us, improves comprehension, emotional intelligence, and the big thing: love of reading.

On Thursday, June 28, we go all the way down to Lake Village to share stories.
