Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Look around you. The world is full of colors! Today we are learning to read color words, so you can spot them in books, on signs and in your crayon box.
Our first color word is red. R, e, d spells red. An apple can be red, and so can a fire truck. Red is short, with just three letters.
Next is blue. B, l, u, e spells blue. The sky on a sunny day is blue. Then comes green. G, r, e, e, n spells green. Grass and frogs are green.
Here is yellow. Yellow starts with y and has two l letters in the middle. The sun and a banana are yellow. Orange is the color of an orange, and it begins with o.
Let's read a few more. Purple, like grapes. Pink, like a flamingo. Brown, like a teddy bear. Black, like the night sky. White, like fluffy snow.
Here is a reading trick. Look at the first letter. Red and rainbow both start with r, but only red is a color word. Then check the length and the ending to be sure.
Now it's your turn. Read this word. G, r, e, e, n. What color is it, and what is something that color? Pause and try. The word is green, like a frog!
Great job! You read red, blue, green, yellow, orange and more. Look at the first letter, the length and the ending. Practice color words in the English Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
