A teacher shows how to use mini anchor chart file folders to teach color-word matching. Students locate spelled-out words like B-L-A-C-K on the folder, match them to actual colors, then transfer the match to the main activity, building word recognition and color association skills.
I want to share why I really love these anchor chart file folders. It's because this is a great way to scaffold to a harder skill. This mini anchor chart is included right on the activity, so maybe your student doesn't yet know the color words, but they can match. So let's say they would pull up this one, they would look for B-L-A-C-K, they would match it, find the color, and then go ahead and match it here. So you can really teach this concept of finding the word, matching here, and then matching to the color. Awesome way to scaffold to new skills.
