Purpose:

To help learners with different aspects of reading

Descriptions: 

Some students appear to be able to perceive and retain words written in red in on yellow paper more easily than when reading the traditional black print on white paper. Try using red marker when making sight word cards, writing language experience stories, or preparing activities for your reading student. Legal pads provide a good and easy supply of yellow paper.

Some students lose their places when reading and have difficulty following the line of print. Encourage the student to use a colored index card (or a white index card with a heavy black line drawn on the top) as a marker when they read.
