Tell children you are going to teach them a song about reading a book.
Sing “Read, Read, Read a Book” through once. Sing it again as you pretend to hold a book open in front of you.
Then invite children to sing and "read" along with you.
Read, Read, Read a Book
(sung to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Read, read, read a book
Every single day.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Every single day.
