Song: “If You’re a Reader and You Know It” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re a reader and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you’re a reader and you know it, clap your hands.

Repeat with stomp your feet, shout hooray, and do all three.
