Ready to Read

I feel it in my hands - shake, shake, shake
I feel it in my hips - swing and sway
I feel it in my heart - beat by beat
I feel it in me - I’m ready to read.

Chorus:
I’m ready to read, in my mind
I’m ready to read, reach up high
I’m ready to read with my eyes
I’m ready to read, left to right.

I feel it in my knees - tap, tap, tap
I feel it in my shoulders - pat, pat, pat
I feel it in my heart - beat by beat
I feel it in me - I’m ready to read.
Repeat Chorus
