 Parody by grade 2 at Benjamin Foulois Elementary!

A great time with these songwriters! All done over Zoom! In 3 sessions! Wow!

Read It! (parody of Beat It)

Mrs. Nimmons told me to read everyday
But reading books is hard I’d rather go and play 
I keep trying but my brain is depleted today  
So read it, just read it 

I know the words, but I need to understand
Use my background knowledge and find what I can 
I activate my brain, yes the answer’s in my hands 
So read it, ‘cause I wanna be smart 

Just read it, read it, read it, read it
Get yourself a book you need it
Time to stop playing and pick up a book
It doesn’t matter, so if you look
Just read, read it, read it

They're trying stop me from reading as planned
Don’t wanna be scared it’s just has chapters, man  
I gotta get this done to get to understand
So read it, just read it

You have to show people that you’re really smart
Break down the text into a smaller part
Use your reading strategies, that’s where you can start  
So read it, cause you want to be smart

So read it, read it, read it, read it
Get yourself a book you need it
Time to stop playing and pick up a book
Don’t read too much or you’ll end up hooked
Just read it, read it
Just read it, read it
