Listen to me oh please!
Listen to me oh please oh please
I have something to tell you
It’s pretty sweet
There’s something I love—reading
Oh yes it’s pretty important to me
Because people all flee
For presents and sales for the holidays
But if I just get the most perfect gift
Of adventure and a very long ending
Then I would say it’s a wonderful day
And thank them for the next series
Would you think that a book would be great
Or did you think you were naughty?
But listen to me oh please oh please
Because a book would be perfect for me!

Reading is important because
So boys and girls can read in Illinois.

To come to you and read the word or sentence
You have to read.
It is also important to read
Because it is important to be able to read books in school
Because most of the things you do in school
Is reading assignments
Or to read quietly somewhere
’Til it is time for math or something.
