Welcome To Storytime!   [tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]

Welcome, welcome everyone,
Now we're here, let's have some fun.
First we'll sing the ABC's,
then we'll read and sing with me.
Welcome, welcome, everyone,
Now we're here let's have some fun.

 

Friend of Mine [tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb ]

Will you be a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine?
Will you be a friend of mine and sing along with me.   
Will you be a friend of mine, friend of mine, friend of mine?
Will you be a friend of mine, and clap along with me.

 

Five Good Friends [tune: Five Little Ducks]

Five good friends went out to play,
on a bright and sunny day.
One good friend said,
"I can't stay."
Then there were four friends left to play.

If You're Friendly And You Know It  [tune: If You're Happy and You Know It]

If your friendly and you know it, clap your hand.
If your friendly and you know it, clap your hand.
If your friendly and you know it, 
Then your face will surely show it.
If your friendly and you 
know it, clap your hand.

 

The More We Read Together    [Tune: The More We Get Together]

The more we read together, together, together,
The more we read together, the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together,
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
