Magic Carpet Time Tour Inspires Young Readers at School
Florence Wilson Elementary hosted Fyler's Carpet One Magic Carpet Time Tour to promote reading. Three actors performed sketches and poems using carpet samples, guiding 100 students through imaginative stories and a Disney themed finale. Each child received a free Disney book and cassette as the school kept the carpet swatches for future use. Principal Sue Glodt praised the program for bringing stories to life and boosting literacy, noting the event aligned with the school book fair. Actor Bill Homan said the students’ energized reactions affirmed the tour’s value in making reading fun and creative. The group planned to extend the program to more schools as part of Carpet One’s literacy effort.
