Help your children to improve their descriptions and narratives by using these colour vocabulary sheets in your literacy lessons or on display. They equip pupils with exciting words for ‘red’, ‘blue’, ‘green’ and everything in between!
I have been using these colour thesauruses as part of a Writing Toolkit (coming soon!) that I give to my class at the start of the school year. After modelling how to use them in writing, the children then independently use stronger, more effective colour descriptives when describing settings or characters- I even see them cropping up in their speech!
BOTH SPELLINGS OF COLOR/COLOUR INCLUDED!
Included in this download:
A display poster and pocket-sized version of the color vocabulary grid
PDF versions of the resources
.docx Word versions of the resources for editing purposes
2 fonts to edit your resources with
UK/AU/NZ/CA version using ‘colour’ spelling
Looking for the full Writing Toolkit? Due to be completed by September 1st 2020
I hope this product saves you time and stress,
Happy Teaching!
