Area Tested: Naming ColorsColor recognition - the basic colors are held up to your child one at a time and your child is simply asked to identify the name of each band of color.

Activities to strengthen color recognition:
1. I Spy (a red..., a yellow..., etc.)
2. Car Color Game - while riding in the car, have a hunt for cars of a certain color
3. Sort, match, count colored items (popcorn kernels, pom poms, buttons, etc.)
4. Color 8 sections of a paper plate and 8 clothespins with the colors. Have your child match and clip the clothespins to the plate.
5. Books that reinforce color recognition -
