The Reader Boogaloo

I’m a reader, and I’m here to say

I read different genres, and that’s OK!

I read for facts and I read for fun

I read all the books, and I love each one.

Fiction books, nonfiction books, and digital, too.

Doing the reader Boogaloo!

Based on PreK GLAD Guided Oral Practice Strategy

Nonfiction Song (to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)

Nonfiction tells me facts, tells me facts, tells me facts

Nonfiction tells me facts, so I can know.

It tells me what things ARE,

what they HAVE, what they CAN.

Nonfiction tells me facts, so I can know.

The Researcher Song (to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

When I research, I begin

By asking questions: Who? What? When?

Information I will find,

Credible sources are the best kind.

Then I share with everyone

Once my research is all done.
