Thousands of students filled the Amway Center in downtown Orlando and asked the team questions, like what books influenced their lives and which magazines they were reading.

Orange County Public School Superintendant Maria Vazquez said the students look forward to meeting the Magic every year.

“For them to hear from them about reading and the joy of reading and their favorite books, it means so much to them,” she said.

The program was launched in 2018 to encourage young children to improve their reading skills.
