If You Can Read

If You Can Read is a segment from Between the Lions stating that if you can read an ending, middle and beginning sound, then you can read every word that ends with that sound. The initial segments premiered in Season 2 and were sung by Paul Jacobs.

In Season 3, a different set of segments appeared, this time teaching sounds at the beginning of words. These ones were sung by Chris Cerf.
