Every year in March, our school celebrates "Reading Week." This year, our theme is "Reading for America." We always sing a song to inspire the students to read more books. Here are some lyrics I wrote for this year's song.

READING FOR AMERICA

(Sung to the tune of "Yankee Doodle")

Verse:

Reading keeps us up to date
And gives us information;
It helps us to communicate
And makes a stronger nation.

Refrain:

Reading for America,
Reading for our nation.
Open up those books right now
And start your education!
