Looking for a musical way to help your students learn the foundations of reading? Try this unique song :

Read a Book
(Tune of Wheels on the Bus)

Reading a book can be lots of fun,
lots of fun,
lots of fun.
Reading a book can be lots of fun,
Once you have begun.

The title on the page says look at me,
look at me
look at me.
The title of the book says look at me,
Reading a book is fun.

Always start reading from the cover,
from the cover,
from the cover.
Always start reading from the cover,
Reading a book is fun.

Let your eyes move from left to right,
left to right,
left to right.
Let your eyes move from left to right,
Reading a book is fun.

Read your way from top to bottom,
top to bottom
top to bottom.
Read your way from top to bottom,
Reading a book is fun.

Let your fingers move you page by page
page by page,
page by page.
Let your fingers move you page by page,
Reading a book is fun.

When you're finished, share your book
share your book,
share your book.
When you're finished, share your book,
Reading a book is fun.


Thanks, Karen and Kali Burke, for sharing your original creation!
