Two Big Elephants
Two big elephants were sitting on a hill
One named Jack and the other named Jill
Run away, Jack! Run away, Jill!
Come back, Jack! Come back, Jill!
An elephant went out to play, out on a spider's web one day.
He had so much enormous fun, he called another elephant to come.
Two elephants went out to play...
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.
