Metacognition Song
Tune: I've been working on the railroad
We've got metacognition running through our minds
We've got metacognition and it isn't hard to find
Can't you hear our thoughts a calling?
Listen to our song
We've got metacognition
Learning all day long

Connections Song Tune: On top of spaghetti
I'm reading a story and my brain says Hey!
This story reminds me of the other day.
It's called a connection
From text to self
The story reminds me I've done this myself.
I'm reading a story and my brain says Look!
This story reminds me of that other book
It's called a connection
From text to text.
My brain remembers and does a quick check.
I'm reading a story and my brain says Wow!
This story reminds me of news happening now.
It's called a connection
From text to world
It makes my brain flutter, sputter and whirl.
Connections Song
Tune: Brush your Teeth Song
When I read a story and my brain say "Hey"
This part reminds me of the other day!
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
When I read a story and my brain say "Whoa!"
This part reminds of my good friend Jo
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
When I read a story and my brain says "Cool"
This part reminds me of my school
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
When I read a story and my brain says "Look!"
This part reminds me of another book
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
When I read an story and my brain says "Wow!"
This part reminds me of my grandpa's cow
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
It's called connect- da da da da da da da da da
Questioning Song
Tune: Oh My Darling Clementine
Oh I wonder
Oh I wonder
Oh I wonder when I read
All good readers ask deep questions
And they wonder when 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 I can't find the answer
Even though the story's read
So I have to find the answer
To the question in my head
Visualizing Song
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
When my teacher reads a book
Then my brain begins to look
Seeing pictures in my head
AS the story's being read
Making pictures me and you
You can think some pictures too
Inferring Song
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Sometimes when you're reading a story
The words are not all there for you
So being a good book detective
Will help you find any clue
Chorus
Infer, Infer
Filling in what's not in the book
Infer, Infer
It's taking a much closer look.
Some authors leave clues in the pictures
Some authors leave clues in the text
They give you just part of the story
And want you to fill in the rest.
So when you are reading a story
Be careful to read what is there
But then figure out what is missing
Now you are inferring with flair!
