Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we’re here, let’s have some fun.
First we’ll sing the ABC’s, then we’ll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone

The Colors I See
Red, Red is the color I see. If you are wearing red then show it to me.
Stand up, turn around. Show me your red and then sit back down.
Yellow, yellow is the color I See. If you are wearing yellow then show it to me.
Stand up, turn around. Show me your yellow then sit back down.
Bubbles [tune: Old MacDonald]
B-U-B-B-L-E-S Bubbles everywhere!
I blow bubbles with my mouth, Some get in my hair.
With a bubble here, and a bubble there,
Here a bubble, there a bubble,
Everywhere a bubble, bubble.
B-U-B-B-L-E-S, Bubbles everywhere.
The More We Read Together [Tune: The More We Get Together]
The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
