NEA's Read Across America Reader's Oath
I promise to read Each day and each night. I know it's the key To growing up right.
I'll read to myself, I'll read to a crowd. It makes no difference If silent or loud.
I'll read at my desk, At home and at school, On my bean bag or bed, By the fire or pool.
Each book that I read Puts smarts in my head, 'Cause brains grow more thoughts The more they are fed.
So I take this oath To make reading my way Of feeding my brain What it needs every day.
