Playing outside is a fun and exciting activity for students!
In Blue, students will become familiar with the color
word blue through a story about blue things that are
found outside. Detailed photographs and repetitive text
support early emergent readers. In addition to working
on decoding skills, students will have the opportunity to
identify the main idea and details as well as to connect
to prior knowledge to better understand the text. This
book is part of the Colors series.
