Simplified way to teach writing
I just read Color Writing by Chris Biffle. It was a very easy read and easy to understand. I really like the idea of lots of oral rehearsal before the writing even begins! I canât wait to try this strategy with my students, especially my ones who struggle with writing. Thank you for another great book with incredible ideas!

Color Writing to the Rescue! This book has changed my writing instruction forever!
Every year I have struggled with teaching my 2nd/3rd graders writing. Some students start the year without knowing how to capitalize, punctuate, and write a complete sentence. (I know previous teachers taught this, but it just doesn’t always stick!) Enter Color Writing! I love how engaged my students are in my 30-minute writing block. They are so excited about the lessons, and it was amazing to see how much they gained from SAYING the whammies. I had my students write every 4th or 5th day after practicing aloud, and I was thrilled with the quality of the work! I learned so much as a teacher, as well. This is my go-to every year now! Thanks, Mr. Biffle!

Easy clear way to teach writing!
I plan to use this in my classroom this year. I love how easy the steps are to follow, and that they can be used at any grade level. Also purchased the new edition of Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids to begin implementing. I love that the new book is in modules (including the Color Writing chapter) so I can choose which thing to start when Iâm able. Fantastic.

The structure with use of color is a game changer for teaching writing. My kids donât even know they are writing a structured essay. This system works!

Awesome strategies for simplifying complex writing.
I am so excited to use Color Writing in my classroom. I just started with WBT about three weeks ago. I have both middle school and high school students who struggle writing 5 paragraph essays and research papers. I can’t wait to see their improvement after a couple weeks of writing games in the classroom!

Awesome Resource
I bought this to read over the summer – and never expected to read it in a single sitting! It is engaging and makes so much sense! I am so excited to weave it into my curriculum with my first graders – which it will easily do!

Step by Step Writing Strategy!

Easy to put into practice right away.
This book provides a simple, easy to follow way to implement writing instruction for all grade levels. I have used the color coding method for years, but what is unique about this book is how the author focuses on the importance of providing students with oral consistent practice in a step by step format before jumping into paragraph writing. The oral practice sets up students for success when it is time for them to engage in paragraph writing. I will definitely be incorporating the “game” like activities to provide valuable and intentional oral practice to all the groups of K-6 English learners I provide services to.

Another piece of art by the WBT team helping teachers improve their teaching skills.From the very first book to this last one (hope thereâll be more to come) you learn and you grow as a teacher.Now letâs all colour up our writings.Thank you.

I read the book in one night as I think I finally found a program all my students can master. Students learn to master organizing their writing orally before they master steps to printing it out which often is a source of frustration for many students. This program takes the âlearn to walk before you can runâ approach to writing guiding students step by step in a fun and approachable way. I look forward to implementing it!

This quick read gives many ways to get kids involved in writing. Speaking simple and complex sentences in a gamified environment makes them want to take part. Kids need to speak before they can talk and this program does that. Colour Writing works at many grade levels and is easily adapted. It is a wonderful addition to any writing program. It has my kids begging for Colour Writing time !

This book is very compact but teaches you everything you need to know to help young children learn how to write effectively. I cannot wait to start this with my students.
