Exhausted! By Beverly F. Jones

I know when I have read enough. 

When I've read enough, 

my eyes water,

my eyelids become heavy,

the words on the pages become indistinguishable, 

and my head tilts south. 


When my head tilts south, 

my glasses flop down and rest securely on the tip of my nose. 

When my glasses flop down,

I become alert. 


You can tell I'm alert because 

I stare for one second, 

sit up straight, 

put my bookmark between the last page I read,

quickly close my book, 

stand up, 

grab my microphone, 

and begin telling amazing stories of how I'd never fall asleep on a great book!  


Have an amazing day! 

Choose the book you really want to read ;)

Literacy Matters-How Important is Reading? (Song)

How important is reading? I'll tell you, it's what I love to do! What can be more beautiful than love? I haven't found the answer to that question regardless of how many years I've been searching these books! [Smiling]. Reading is the key that opens many doors , and unveils hidden messages. Imagine only being able to observe, rather than decode a message. What would you miss if you couldn't read?  I'll start it off: •important letters about winning money •important text messages about where we'll eat out; instead of cooking in tonight •important lyrics to your favorite love song - that someone else is reading aloud (in front of your fam) •important yes or no questions from your teenager (can my boyfriend sleep over tonight YES or NO!) Trust me, reading is very important!!! -Beverly Jones
