Rainbow Writing

Just the mention of a rainbow brings a smile to a child. Incorporate a rainbow into the mundane task of teaching sight words, and you've made the teacher smile, too! 

Writing with a crayon and tracing over the word in different colors to make a rainbow, adds a bright spot that students love to this skill practice. This booklet not only allows for repeated spelling practice, but space is provided for the student to write the word in a sentence, which also makes it a great tool to reinforce capitalization, spacing, and punctuation.  Rainbow writing provides repeated spelling practice in a format that kids love.

Don't want to buy the product?  Reformat the idea to fit the needs of your students.  It is a simple idea that gets big results.  I place the booklet in a literacy center, and the students complete 2 pages each week.  I absolutely love the fact that all of our sight words are in here, so once I get the booklet copied and introduced, this center is ready to go for 12 weeks.
