Learning to Read

I've got great news!
I'm learning to read!
I can sound out my letters
Like "sp" "sp" — SPEED.
It's exciting to learn the mysteries
that hide in a book.
The names of Pirates like Captain Hook.
I can unlock the secrets
that are hidden words.
My mind is set free
and it flies like the birds!

So hop on this Magic Carpet
and see where it leads.
There are words to explore
when you learn how to read!
