Please look in this box
From Thing One and Thing Two,
You’ll find a fun game
Of learning-to-read clues.
Just twenty-six alphabet letters to learn,
All of the words in the world, any found in a book,
Are made with these twenty-six letters—
Just look!
Put these letters in order,
C with A-T makes CAT.
Replace C with H,
Now the CAT is a HAT.
I know it’s a challenge,
but it can be funny,
And learning to read
Will make your days sunny
I know it’s a challenge,
but it can be funny,
And learning to read
