This week I wanted to tell you about my online store, Good Sensory Learning. I’m Dr. Erica Warren, and I established this site so I could share all the materials that I have created over the last 20+ years as a learning specialist and educational therapist. When I first began my private practice, Learning to Learn, I had great difficulty finding fun and multisensory materials for my students that were effective and engaging. So back in 2005, I made it my mission to design and distribute high-end, remedial products as well as memorable, motivating lessons that bring delight to learning. If you would like to try a free sampling of my activities , CLICK HERE . How Are the Products Organized at Good Sensory Learning? You can download my Free Printable Catalog or you can browse the site using the grey “search all products” bar in the top right of any page with keywords such as dyslexia, working memory, and executive functioning.

Many young learners struggle with the sizing and formation of letters. In addition, writing across the paper in a straight line can be challenging. For these students, I like to offer a color-coded scaffolding approach that provides support and also brings the fun factor into the learning process. I call it, Color-coded Handwriting and it helps my students master this difficult, fine motor task.
What's the Process:
I offer my students color-coded paper as well as color-coded letters.
I tell my students that all the letters have to match up with the colors.
I share with my students that the colors represent, “the sky - blue, the grass – green, and the ground - orange.” Letters that are green, such as the lowercase letter “o” are called grass letters, tall letters such as “t” are grass and sky letters, and letters such as the letter “g” are grass and ground letters. All letters rest on the line below the grass.
You Can Make This Yourself, or Purchase it Ready Made:
You can make the paper and letters with handwriting paper and highlighters, but if you would prefer to have the paper and letters already made for you, you can purchase my publication, Color Coded Handwriting for only $4.99. This downloadable, printable PDF comes with color-coded upper and lower case letters, as well as a variety of lined, color-coded templates in small, medium and large. Furthermore, it offers a two column option that is ideal for spelling words. Finally, this product suggests a fun game-like activity.
