Spring is here but summer will be drawing near and we are ready to think about rainbows and the sun starting to peek through! My kids LOVE coloring, and I love to get them excited about learning any way I can. This free Rainbow Easy Reader gets us reading color words, repetitive sentences, and also sequencing while still giving my kids what they love – coloring!
*Pair with our Color Centers and Activities for Pre-K & Kindergarten!
My students love it when we create something that they can keep for themselves and these super fun and colorful Rainbow Easy Readers are a hit every year.
The kids especially love writing their names on the cover where it says, “Colored by____.” It makes them feel like little illustrators!
To prepare the readers, simply print the book (download below) and copy double-sided. Then, cut in half, staple, and voila – two copies instantly!
This is perfect for classroom use as it cuts down on paper, and if you are using it at home it gives you and your little reader each a book with just one copy.
This book contains simple, repetitive sentences, which are great confidence builders for beginning readers and get them started with word tracking.
This rainbow easy reader also works on sequencing as the students must remember what happened on the previous page and put the colors in order as they color their own rainbow.
Each page adds one more color to the rainbow, until finally, on the last page – it is complete!
Your students will also get great practice reading color words so they can be color experts!
Songs are powerful AND super fun too! That’s why we want to share with you one of our favorite songs about the colors in a rainbow!
This is a simple song that will make learning about rainbows extra fun. It’s sung to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” and is perfect for singing with your kiddos at Circle Time!
Check out the video to hear our rainbow song in action. You will definitely want to sing it with your students this spring!
Red, orange, yellow,
green,
blue, and purple too!
See the rainbow in
the sky.
It shines on me
and you!
