Deciding Which Style of Page to Use

Choose the Colors Pages

Children get to select the colors they want to use on the choose the colors pages. On this style of code and color, page children will need to think about the colors they are selecting. While the colors don’t have to go together, it would be nice if they worked together. Once they have selected a color for a particular number, they shouldn’t use it again. When you have color used over again, it can make it hard to see the picture.

Assigned Color Pages

Each of the assigned color pages has been tested to see how the color will work together. The goal on these pages was for the monster to be easy to see.

Building Background

Before your children start on these pages, you may want to read a book about monsters. It will help your children a little bit more about monsters.

Exploring the Color By Code Monster Pages

If you are having a non-reader work on the color-by-code monster pages, you may want to help them highlight what they need to do. First, you can have them underline the number they are focusing on for each step. Next, children will need to place a line that matches the color mentioned in that step over or under that number.

Some children will be fine with just highlighting the directions. However, there will be some that need to draw a dot near the number in each section that matches the assigned color. They can go back later and color in the whole section.
