Answer 1

Melody starts elementary school in a program for special needs children and spends five years there. Initially placed in classroom H-5, she finds the program too easy. When Melody was young, her mother created a plastic communication board with words, numbers, and phrases for Melody to point to. Over time, Melody outgrows the board and Mrs. V, their neighbor, helps by creating a more challenging board with a variety of language elements. With Mrs. V's help, Melody learns new words daily. When Melody turns eight, her parents surprise her with a puppy named Butterscotch. Later, the Brooks family welcomes baby girl Penny.
