This book teaches students how to match, identify, and label colors. Color words are included in simple sentences such as "The apple is red." Colors are also taught by association as in matching an apple picture to a red square and vice versa. The visual strategies and structure of this book help increase comprehension and retention of color concepts.
Interactive Reading Books encourage speech development, reading skills, fine motor coordination, and a variety of other functional skills, all in a fun, interactive way. These high-quality reading books have been professionally designed by author Joan Green and illustrator Linda Comerford with the special needs student in mind, although beginning readers of any level can benefit from the positive experiences waiting inside the covers of the books.
Utilizing the power of visual strategies, students learn to associate pictures with words and then create simple sentences by attaching the correct picture cards to the correct squares of each sentence page. Students then reread the sentences aloud (or sign them, or communicate correctly in any other comfortable mode of communication).
Activities in each book have been created for students of varying ability levels. Books come ready to use with Velcro-backed picture cards and there is no printing, laminating, or cutting required. Directions are printed on the inside cover of each book.
