Song:
Oh...I wonder
Adapted from Reading Power by Adrienne Gear
Tune: Oh My Darling Clementine
Oh I wonder
Oh I wonder
Oh I wonder while I read
All good readers ask deep questions
And they wonder while they read
Sometimes when I ask
a question
And I turn the page to look
I find the answer to my question
And it's right there in the book
But sometimes there
is no answer
Even when the story's done
So I have to find the answer
To the question on my own
