If you didn’t have words how would you ever read a book And how could you talk about a trip you took Without words you couldn’t answer a question at school or shout to your friend at the swimming pool 4
With words you can talk about your brand new bike You can ask for any ice cream flavor you like You can tell your friends what you did today Words are important in so many ways 5
Think of when you were a very little baby You didn’t know any words You only made sounds You cried when you were hungry or tired You pointed at things you wanted or you tried to reach for them 6
You made all kinds of silly sounds that did not make sense All babies do this before they learn to talk 7
