    Unit 2 - We met Oswald who likes to read about, draw, and make odd animals.  We learned the letter Oo and the sound /o/ as in ox, otter, and ocelot.  We learned to discriminate between the /k/ and /o/ sound at the beginning of a word.

We learned to discriminate the /a/ and /o/ sound in the middle of a word. We are learning to listen for each sound in a word to identify the beginning, middle, and ending sounds and letter.

    Unit 5 - We met Doc who likes to fix and make toys.  We learned the letter Dd and the sound /d/ as in doll, dish, and drum.  We learned how to tap out each sound in a word, write each letter sound, then blend those sounds back together to read the whole word.
