Bingo

There was a farmer had a dog,
and BINGO was his name-o.

Then let them run and play.

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.
