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
