About Magic Lantern

Magic Lantern was created to help inspire children to love reading and writing!

Hello! My name is Paige Hilfer. I am the creator of Magic Lantern. I am a former teacher and currently a Mother of 3 young children. I started Magic Lantern because I wanted to help children learn to love reading and writing and to gain confidence in themselves as learners.

“It is our hope that by offering children multiple paths to literacy, they will become risk takers in their own literacy development because the pursuit of mastery is pleasurable, that their voice and heart count, and that their uniqueness contributes to a better place. Magic Lantern can be a joyful vehicle for that journey.” Mark Akins (Mark Akins, a 14 year veteran teacher with a Masters in Instruction and Curriculum with Reading Endorsement, is a major contributor to this endeavor)
