About Our Books

Created and written by a skilled educator, the highly entertaining interactive hands-on Letters and Words BASICoLoRIDE books are a great alternative to traditional workbooks. They incorporate sequential exercises, but instead of using a pencil, children record their answers by placing colored clips or tabs on an Answer Card. To check the answers they simply match, side-by-side, the colors with the Answer Key.

Children have fun manipulating the colored clips or tabs and matching up colors. They are able to independently check their own work and correct it without leaving any traces of incorrect answers. The coincidence of colors makes their success highly visible and even tangible. Parents, teachers, and peers are able to recognize children’s’ success at-a-glance instead of spending valuable time checking the work.

These books give children a sense of mastery, pride, and joy in their abilities. With each successfully completed page, they become motivated to repeat their success again and again. These workbooks are like a “Vitamin of Success” in that they build children’s self-confidence and enjoyment of learning. It’s a win-win situation!

These books improve retention of Basic Language Skills by providing children with exercises that use an incremental approach and that can be repeated again and again.

In addition, because the workbook requires children to manipulate colored clips or tabs, children improve their fine-motor skills and eye-hand coordination.
