Tutor Notes for ‘My Blue Book’
1. Print the two pages for ‘My Blue Book’.
2. Ask the child to choose a blue pencil and colour in the title words
‘My Blue Book’.
3. Using a blue pencil, ask the child to colour in the pictures.
He/she may like to change between a light blue and a dark blue.
Challenge:
Discuss – How will he/she colour in the water and sky pictures?
Hint: Use pencils not felt pens for colouring in. Felt pens are good for
outlining pictures but not good for colouring in.
4. Ask the child to write her/his name on the appropriate line.
5. Ask the child to cut on the straight lines to create the eight pages which will make up the booklet.
NB: Encourage the child to cut out carefully. With practise and concentration he/she should be able to cut on the line.
This will create a booklet your child can be proud of.
6. Let the child decide the order the pages will be in the booklet.
Discuss with the child if it matters which order she/he decides upon – of course the title page has to be first.
7. Staple the pages into a booklet.
8. Ask your child to point to the words as he/she reads the sentences.
This:
a. reinforces the left to right eye movement.
b. reinforces the fact that sentences and phrases are made up of words.
c. encourages the child to look at each word, so enhancing word recognition. (Otherwise the child is inclined to ‘parrot’ the sentences and is not learning to recognise the words.)

9. A beneficial exercise for your child is to look for the word ‘blue’ in other story books or colour word books.
This is a fun exercise which reinforces recognition of the word and emphasises that the ‘shape’ and spelling of a word remains constant, wherever it is found.
Your child could look through a magazine and when he/she finds a picture with ‘blue’ in it he/she could write ‘blue’ on the colour.
10. Present your child with the pile of colour word flashcards and ask her/him to find the word ‘blue’.
11. Another beneficial exercise for your child is to:
a. Print off a spare booklet.
b. Cut the sentences from the bottom of each page and put them in random order.
c. Encourage your child to match each sentence to the sentence which is the same in the booklet he/she has made.
d. Read the sentence.
When your child is competent with this exercise:
a. Take the sentences, one at a time.
b. Cut them into words.
c. Put the words in jumbled order.
d. Encourage your child to rearrange the words into a sentence.
e. Read the sentence.
NB: If your child needs help, let her/him refer to the little booklet. It is good when your child can do this without referring to the booklet. It is a sign that she/he is actually reading the words.
