Audience: This book is created for K-2nd graders that are English Learners or Newcomers.
Purpose: This book supports students learning English but creating an easier way to learn colors.
- Visual pictures that correspond with each color allows students to make connections with culturally responsive objects around them
- Reading tool embedded in storybook allows students that have a hard time reading the ability to hear the colors enunciated to them
- YouTube video in the beginning gives students a fun way to quickly go through the colors before they read on
- “What else is the color ____?” Open ended question allows students to be interactive with the book and encourages them to come up with examples themselves
A great idea for a Book Creator demo project. It takes advantage of the “Read to me” function and makes this a powerful scaffolding tool. The open ended “What else is [ ]?” gives students a chance to explore the relationship between the abstract (color) and reality of the world around them. The illustrations are clever and well suited to engaging young learners. Nicely done!
Hi Jenny! I love the aesthetic and ideas in this book! It actually looks like a children’s book you would see on the shelf of a classroom. I think incorporating the video is also an excellent touch
