 Show image 1A-1: Red roses and blue violets

Roses are red,

Violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet,

And so are you.

Fourth Read using Echo Technique with Motions

Directions: I am going to say the first line of “Roses Are Red” and do the

motions that go with it. Then I will stop and give you a chance to echo—

or repeat—the words with the motions using your Response Card. We will

do this for each line.

Note: Pause after each line and prompt students to echo and do the

motions.
