Red, yellow, blue and more for you!
Colors are one of the very first things little ones learn to name and sort. Preschoolers match colors, then name them: red, blue, yellow, green and more. Next they read color words like red and blue, a great first step into reading. Colors also lead into early math: sorting objects by color, counting how many of each, and making color patterns like red, blue, red, blue. The click comes when a child spots something orange across the room and shouts its name!
Colors are everywhere, so we teach them with songs, pictures and hands-on sorting.
Pick a color of the week and start each morning with its song. Kids wear something that color on Friday and hunt for it around the room. Music plus a hunt makes the name stick fast.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withRed SongSongsOpen it →Post each color word with a big splash of its color. Point to it when you use the word, and soon kids read "red" without the color clue. It's a sneaky first step into reading.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withColors Word WallFlash CardsOpen it →Dump out a bin of blocks or buttons and have kids sort by color, then count each pile. Which color has the most? Sorting and counting together turns colors into early math.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Most children start matching colors around age 2 and can name the basic colors by about age 3. By kindergarten, many can read simple color words.
Start with red, blue and yellow, then add green, orange and purple. Teaching one or two at a time works better than all at once.
Name colors all day long: "Here's your red cup!" Sort toys by color, sing color songs and play "find something blue." Everyday talk is the best teacher.
Sorting by color is an early math skill! Kids group objects, count them, compare which group has more, and make color patterns. It all builds number sense.
