Now That I Can Read
I used to sit and listen
To somebody as they read
I’d look at every picture
On the pages they read.
I think that picture is important
Because I can feel what they read
By looking at the picture
I know what the story is.
But now that I am in first grade
I’m collecting a lot of books
Still with pictures of poem, stories
And other books
Now that I can read
I don’t just look at the pictures
I now can talk with them
Because it’s fun reading and imagining
The characters in my books
Tell Me Where
By: Myra R. Labay
Oh, please tell me where things are.
Where is the clock that alarms like a cock?
Where is the pan where I heat my bun?
Where is the frame of my Mama Dame?
Where is the wig that I’ll give to Dig?
Here they are, here they are!
Look around and find where they are.
The clock is above the cabinet so it won’t
be wet.
The pan is below the stove just beside the
chef’s glove.
The frame is above the TV where everyone
can see.
The wig is below the dresser so you can
see it closer.
Put things in order so you can see them
better.
Time will not be wasted in looking for the
things you wanted.
