Coloring a mandala (a circle design with geometric patterns) before a group activity has been shown to increase an individual's attention span and decrease impulsive behavior, promoting better decision-making and focus.

Coloring allows the mind to release worries which allows the student to concentrate on the coloring page.

Working with the IDA, Dyslexia consultants and experts around the country, we developed this coloring and activity book to help children focus in class and build their skills in the following areas:

Honing their attention to detail
Learning homophones
Practicing syllable division
Reviewing the placement of descenders
Recognizing when words are from the same word family

Each book consists of 65 pages designed to help build different skills in children with learning differences. There is an answer key at the back of the book for your convenience.

In this Product Pack, you get our special Live Your Life in Color activity book for elementary school children along with a 12-pack of easy grip colored pencils or markers.
