Day One: There was a big snow storm so there was only one child in class. I was not able to pick a Roo-Buddy. Day Two: Everyone was in class. I picked my Roo-Buddy, Eliza.

Student A excels at being able to tap out sounds within a three sound word, as student B is able to tap out the individual sounds of words with 4-5 sounds in them. These activities however acted as review for the students being as they were exposed to these concepts in kindergarten. During whole class…
