Shares 2K

I always love using books to teach concepts to my students. I think they are a great visual to help students whom are struggling to grasp whatever is being taught. I LOVE these books about colors. When I am teaching colors to my students at the beginning of the school year, I always start each lesson with one of these books. My students love the books too! Here are my favorite color books.
