Description: A black bear with a brown pear by a blue sea under a green tree... Children can learn the colors in English as they listen and read along with this ebook featuring audio. The poem is adapted for English learners and illustrated with whimsical drawings that will capture their imaginations. Your students will develop fluency, vocabulary and phonological awareness as they listen and read. You can make the poem available in learning centers, project it on the whiteboard for whole-class instruction or assign it for children to practice reading at home. I wrote this poem for my students, who are learning English as a foreign language in preschool and elementary school. The youngest ones are learning colors and we often practice them with rhymes. I wanted an ebook that I could send them to practice reading and color vocabulary at home. I found ebooks to buy for myself, but none that I could send to families. So I wrote one!
