Teaching Colors: Building Early Language with Flashcards

This resource combines English color flashcards with the 2013 Teaching with Flash Cards instructional booklet. Card prompts ask for color names and examples in the surrounding environment, while the booklet presents matching, sorting, receptive identification, and expressive labeling lessons.

Instructional booklet credits: The Special Learning Clinical Team and Tabitha Kirby, as printed in the 2013 Teaching with Flash Cards booklet.

Material context: The booklet uses examples across flashcard themes, including dogs, cups, and spoons; its lesson examples are not specific to colors.

The color prompts cover black, blue, brown, gray, green, orange, pink, purple, red, white, and yellow. Each follows a sequence of showing a color, naming it, finding something that color, and naming further examples.

The accompanying booklet discusses reinforcement, prompting and prompt fading, target selection, and lesson individualization. Its four lesson sections include prerequisite lists and suggestions for simplifying or expanding activities.
