Colourful Semantics - Talk About It Sentences Pack

Colourful Semantics is a visual language learning approach that can be used to help all children develop their language, but can be especially helpful for children with a range of Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) including:
Developmental Language Disorder
Developmental Delay or Disorder
Autism
Down Syndrome
Dyslexia
Literacy Difficulties
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
 
Better yet, Colourful Semantics works brilliantly as a whole-school approach for supporting language and literacy development and can be used in all classrooms.
 
This picture based activity pack helps children to develop their vocabulary and improve the length/ structure of their sentences. It supports the following development:
 
Encourages a wider vocabulary
Makes sentences longer
Helps children to answer questions
Develops use of nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives
Improves story-telling (narrative) skills
Can be transferred to written sentences and written language comprehension
Can be carried out individually or in small groups
 
This PDF download, for you to print, assemble and use, includes 6 different picture scenes with all of the needed cue cards, symbols and vocabulary to make over 50 different sentences and practise writing them too. It uses the original colours set by Alison Bryan who created the approach and contains who - what doing - with what - where - when - why - to who and when cue cards.
 
It can be used individually at home/nursery/school or in small group activities. It is recommended for children 3+ and is suitable for primary and secondary school age too.
