Print the pages back to back ('Duplex: short edge binding&' on some printer settings) to make your own Colour Book. I made this book for my EAL children as they came in with knowing no colour names.

They really liked the book and I hope your children will too :) For updates for my new resources, click on &';like' on facebook: www.facebook.com/TheStorySeed For more free resources: www.TheStorySeed.com
