Overview

"Brilliant ink-on-tile illustrations created with a secret process bring the alphabet to colorful life, while color-coding of text emphasizes letter-to-sound correspondence. Children will delight in the rich, poetic language of colors like emerald, jasmine, and quartz-while also meeting old favorites like yellow, orange and purple. A color key and pronunciation guide (for new colors like ""zaffre,"" which rhymes with ""laugher"") is included. Instructions for how to extend the learning with a predictable sentence chart are also provided. Free printable supporting materials like miniatures of the illustrations (to add to your predictable sentence chart), sentence builders, and a days-of-the-week color counting book for literacy and math centers can be found at tweetspeakpoetry.com/literacyextras!"
