About this app

This app is designed to introduce the colors to the student one by one. This method allows the student to master the color names gradually.

This “Progressive Method” runs through seven stages:

Stage 1: Introduction. The selected color moves from the left side to the center of the screen and a character points to the color and pronounces the name of the color. This continues until the student clicks the ì>>î button to move to the next stage.

Stage 2: Single Color. In Stage 2, the student is asked to find the color introduced in Stage1. When the student clicks on the color, he/she is taken to the next stage.

Stage 3: 1 Distracter. The color introduced in Stage 1 and another color or picture as distracter are shown and the student is asked to find the color. When the student clicks on the correct color the next “find” question comes up. As long as the student clicks on the correct color, he/she stays in Stage 3. The student can move on to the next stage by clicking the ì>>î button. If the student clicks on the wrong color, then the program returns the student to Stage 1, the Introduction Stage.

Stage 4: 2 Distracters. In Stage 4, the color introduced in Stage 1 and two other colors or pictures as distracters are shown on the screen and the student is asked to find the color introduced in Stage 1. As long as the student clicks on the correct color the student remains in Stage 4. When the student clicks on a wrong color, he/she is taken back to Stage 1. The student can move forward by clicking the ì>>î button.

Stage 5: 3 Distracters. The color is shown with three other colors or pictures as distracters. If the student clicks on the wrong color, then the program returns the student to Stage 1, the Introduction Stage.

Stage 6: Combinations. The color that the student identified in Stages 1 through 5 will appear as a distracter or as the color to be identified. Another color (which the student learned earlier) will also appear as a distracter or as the color to be identified. If the student clicks on the wrong color, then the program returns the student to Stage 1, the Introduction Stage.


Stage 7: This is the last stage. In this Stage, the student is asked to identify all the colors he/she has learned so far. If the student clicks on the wrong color, then the program takes the student to Stage 1, the Introduction Stage.

When the student clicks on the ì>>î button, the program introduces the next color in the list.
At any time the student can move backward by clicking the ì<
