Color the Classics

Homeschoolers' Comments

How the Program Works

-Have the child start coloring or painting an illustration.
-Take the information from the book that describes that illustration and retell this information as a story.
-Play the music that belongs to the illustration.
-Have the children finish the picture.

This multi-sensory approach will lock the experience in your child's mind.

The original purchasers of these books have the right to reproduce the illustrations for use with their own children only.
