The students will practice reading these words throughout the year. They will begin with the red words and once they know them by sight, they will move on to the orange words and so on. The students will record their progress on individual rainbows in their reading folders in class. I recommend that the students practice these words at home in the following order as well.
Red Words: me, my, see, I
Orange Words: can, for, one, red, two
Yellow Words: blue, go, it, look, the
Green Words: and, is, play, said, you
Blue Words: big, come, in, little, we
Indigo Words: find, funny, here, make, to
Violet Words: away, down, help, jump
Cloud Words: saw, like, came, as, good, am
