Need help teaching your children JK to Gr. 3?

I’m happy to announce that I have revised Read a Rainbow, Write a Rainbow under the new title of Teaching Phonics & Reading with Games & Activities. By printing the book on standard paper with standard ink I am able to offer it for a lower price. I have also moved the activity pages and word pages to the end of each chapter to make it easier for parents to find the correct activities that go with each lesson. This book is made to take apart! Feel free to photocopy the activity and word pages so you can use them over and over. The lessons and activity pages are the same as the inside of the Read a Rainbow book. I have added a few extra activity pages for you as well. For a full description of what is inside read below.

Author and teacher Erika Dick created the book, Read a Rainbow, Write a Rainbow and her new revised edition Teaching Phonics & Reading with Games & Activities.

The teaching lessons are based on her 30 years of experience and explained in simple language with lots of examples. The 44 reproducible pages on phonics and reading are based on the educational board games she created. Her book uses her rainbow colour-coded method of teaching to help children learn basic concepts of phonics, reading, writing, spelling and grammar. This book is laid out in simple lessons that allow anyone to teach their child to read and write.

The book includes:

10 Phonics lessons-how to teach phonics

12 Phonics Flip pages

12 Phonics activity pages

and

12 Reading lessons-how to teach reading, writing, grammar and spelling through games and activities

10 word pages

10 game pages

*44 Reproducible pages on Phonics and Reading

*Words are carefully selected by the author to help children create sentences based on their own life experience.

*Children move easily from picture cards to word cards to create sentences and stories.

*Tested in the classroom the award winning Top Story game and the Funny Phonics game are the basis for the lessons and games.

*Create thousands of simple and more complex sentences while learning spelling and grammar.

The soft cover edition is 8 1/2″x 11″ printed on 60 lb. paper.  Simply tear out the activity pages, copy them and use them to play games. It is recommended that you laminate the games pages before cutting up the word cards. Or you can paste the pages on bristle board or old decks of cards for durability.

The book may be used in JK, K, Gr. 1, Gr. 2, Gr. 3 and for special needs students and English as a second language.

This book combines the basic elements of the games of Top Story and Funny Phonics with lessons on how to teach the principles of phonics, reading, writing, spelling and grammar. The book is designed to be used by teachers in JK to Gr. 3, by parents who home school and by parents who simply want to give their children some additional help.

The activity pages and the 44 reproducible pages at the back of the book may be reproduced for classroom and home use. These 44 pages are just like the original games of Funny Phonics and Top Story. The pages consist of 12 activity pages, 12 Phonics Flip pages, 10 colour coded word pages and 10 game pages. 

Teachers may reproduce these pages for their own classroom use. Parents may reproduce these pages for use in their own home.

Simply cut up the pages after you photocopy them to use as game cards and games pages. 

Jenny’s Surprise (book 1) and A Baby in the House (book 2) by Erika Dick are two stories about Jenny and Max and their adventures. Both are currently on sale for $7.99 US at Amazon.

Erika Dick decided to write the stories after creating the monkey in Funny Phonics which is also featured in her new book Read a Rainbow, Write a Rainbow, games edition, and in Teach Phonics & Reading with Games & Activities.

The two books talk about Jenny and her pet monkey. We learn how Max the monkey was rescued by her dad, had to stay in isolation and then became Jenny’s pet. Jenny learns about various kinds of monkeys and how to take care of baby animals.

Both books offer two reading levels. Level one is made up of short sentences under the pictures and level three includes more complex words and the full text of the story.

The stories are suitable for JK-Gr. 3 readers and reflect their interests and vocabulary.

Jenny’s surprise has pages to colour and A Baby in the House is in picture book format. Both books have colour coded word lists that can be used to teach. See sample pages below:
