The 32-page illustrated storybook follows siblings Max and Ivy as they learn the secrets of magic and put on their very own show.

It is an experience that makes reading feel purposeful and exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor children who find sitting with a book challenging, the promise of a real magic trick to practise afterwards gives reading a clear reward. The story and play elements work together: children are motivated to follow the text because they want to know what comes next, and performing the tricks builds fine motor skills, sequencing, and following multi-step instructions. The sense of achievement when a trick works is a genuine confidence boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works in early years and primary settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBridges reading and physical play.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Read, Play, Learn format is easy to build into a lesson or guided reading session, with a natural activity to follow that does not require additional resources.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessible for mixed ability groups.\u003c\/strong\u003e The story is designed for ages 3 to 7, making it suitable across Reception and lower KS1, including for children with emerging reading skills or learning differences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports communication and language development.\u003c\/strong\u003e Children narrate and perform as they work through the tricks, naturally practising sequencing language, turn-taking, and verbal explanation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to manage in a classroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tricks are designed to be simple enough for a young child to learn quickly after a demonstration, reducing the need for close adult support once the activity is underway.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrong value for intervention or group use.\u003c\/strong\u003e The set can be used as a reward resource, a quiet activity, or a focus for a small group, without the need for screens or additional equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor home use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParents will find this is an easy win at home.
