Description
- It Makes Thinking Concrete: Assigning a color to a concept (e.g., main idea = green) makes kids decide clearly.
- It Builds Executive Function: Organizing by color is a key skill for note-taking, studying, and writing.
- It Gives Instant Feedback: A quick glance shows if they understand. One color? They may be confused. Balanced colors? They’re analyzing well.
What’s Inside This Color-Coding Toolkit?
Each worksheet teaches an analytical skill through color.
1. Rich Passages: Texts with clear structures (main ideas, details, cause/effect).
2. The Strategic Key: A guide that links colors with reading skills:
- Main Idea vs. Details: Green = main idea, Yellow = details.
- Fact vs. Opinion: Blue = fact, Orange = opinion.
- Problem vs. Solution: Red = problem, Green = solution.
- Evidence: Highlight text evidence for answers.
3. Guided Practice: Some worksheets start the coding for them to model the process.
3 Tips for Better Color-Coding
1. Talk About the Key: Discuss what each color means before reading.
2. Ask for Justification: Have them explain why they used a color choice, citing evidence.
3. Let Them Create the Key: For advanced learners, let them design their own color system.
