One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher

We recently completed our final S.M.A.R.T. workshop of 2025! We have had an amazing line up of educators, therapists, and support staff this year. 

One S.M.A.R.T. Teacher, Priscilla from Warren, MN, shared a simple yet effective variation of Rainbow Tracing. With this activity, we recommend tracing a word, letter, number, shape, etc with many colors, providing inputs into the brain for correct spelling or formation.
​
Priscilla said her students have really enjoyed writing their sight words multiple times when they get to trace with a colored pencil, a pen, and a marker. Offering a variety of writing tools makes this activity new and novel to the students, adding to the intensity to the brain. Bonus…it helps to keep them on task 🙂​

Not sure how to incorporate Rainbow Tracing?
Use your reference guides to refresh your memory on how this activity can be a great way to practice spelling words, sight words, names, and letter formation.
