Read and Colour

A reading page that ends in colouring. Each picture carries its name in the book's language, and something to read: a colour word to colour it with (a key at the top shows what each colour word means), a short phrase such as "the yellow duck" with the article and the colour agreeing with the word, or a word at the top to find among the pictures. Read and draw puts a word over an empty frame instead, which works for any word, pictured or not. Pictures follow the theme, or a letter or syllable you are working on, or a list of words you type; a word with no picture in the library is left out of the colouring pages rather than printed in another language.
