Hello, I am Zach, and these are the following texts that will be used for the reading competition.

2
00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:10,880
These are the texts for first and second grade.

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,699
My hands are for clapping.

4
00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:16,640
My arms can hug tight.

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,420
My fingers can snap or can turn out the light.

6
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,179
My legs are for jumping.

7
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:26,640
My eyes help me see.

8
00:00:27,399 --> 00:00:31,019
This is my body, and I love all of me.

9
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:34,439
This is the text for third and fourth grade.

10
00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:38,280
I can be a pal by smiling at you.

11
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:41,039
I can be a pal when you feel blue.

12
00:00:41,659 --> 00:00:44,820
I can be a pal who is honest and kind.

13
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:47,899
I can be a pal when you're in a bind.

14
00:00:48,259 --> 00:00:52,179
I can be a pal by saying please and thank you.

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320
I can be a pal when no one wants to.

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,560
I can be a pal every single day. I can be your pal, what do you say?

17
00:01:02,679 --> 00:01:05,519
This is the text for 5th and 6th grade.

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,719
There is a place where the sidewalk ends, and before the street begins.

19
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:17,920
And there the grass grows soft and white, and there the sun burns crimson bright.

20
00:01:18,579 --> 00:01:24,140
And there the moonbird rests from his flight, to cool in the peppermint wind.

21
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:31,879
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black, and the dark street winds and bends.

22
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:39,280
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow, we shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow.

23
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:45,260
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go, to the place where the sidewalk ends.

24
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:53,260
Yes, we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow, and we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go.

25
00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:57,500
For the children they mark, and the children they know,

26
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:00,019
The place where the sidewalk ends.
