Looking for a simple yet powerful way to support student comprehension? This session will introduce the use of color coding as an effective multisensory strategy to help students better understand and engage with both fiction and non-fiction texts. Participants will explore the purpose and benefits of using color coding to highlight and organize key text elements, including main ideas, supporting details, and literary components. Through guided practice and collaborative discussion, attendees will apply color coding techniques and use the technique to write summaries of what was read. Walk away with practical strategies and ready-to-use resources that make reading more accessible and meaningful for all learners.
