Students Learn Quickly
My students love this engaging resource. We spend lots of time teaching/reviewing rhythms and I was so excited to find this resource. They love playing it and they are progressing much quicker in their rhythm readiness. Thank you!

Intuitive Resources
These games are wonderful. They are clearly set up and intuitive for students to complete. I love to use the set of them to review and individually assess each student to see what might need more work as we move forward. They are easy to assign in Google Classroom and can be completed on any device.
