- Only selected materials are in color: the Fidel Phonetic Code and the 21 color-coded wall charts. These are used for introduction of new sounds, new spellings, detailed examination of words, and for initial practice. However, as soon as underlying awarenesses are in place, students are asked to read in black-and-white.
- All books – the Reading Primers, The Student Workbooks, and the Book of Stories – are in black-and-white. This enables many relevant and diverse opportunities to enhance reading skills using black-and-white.
- When problems are encountered with specific words written in black-and-white, the Fidel Phonic Code and color-coded word charts are particularly useful as an instrument for helping students work through these challenges. When the challenges have been overcome in color, the students can continue in black-and-white.
