Read a book and a magazine
Read a newspaper and a
computer screen
Read, Read, Read and succeed
Give yourself the reading gift
Give yourself a reading lift
Read, Read, Read and succeed

Read in your home and on a bus
Let your imagination
grow you must
Read, Read, Read and succeed
Give yourself the reading gift
Give yourself a reading lift
Read, Read, Read and succeed

Make it the family thing to do
Children, moms, dads
grandparents too
Read, Read, Read and succeed
Give yourself the reading gift
Give yourself a reading lift
Read, Read, Read and succeed
