She probably can't say it back to you right now, but she will be able to soon and this gets in her in the habit of understanding her own feelings and what is an acceptable way to express them. Then go on to make a plan for when you can read to her: "I can read to you as soon as I finish these dishes. Would you like to help by putting the spoons away or the plastic cups? Then we can read!"
