My store has a range of resources in Speech and Language, SEND and Computing. It includes an Advanced form of 'Colourful Semantics' which I called 'Colourful Speech' which I developed to be used with one-to-one, small groups and whole class teaching it spans across the curriculum. It helps children to understand grammar and word groups as they progress through their learning journey. I love creating bespoke resources to help children with specific needs.

WW1 Autograph Book
This is my Grandfather’s First World War Autograph book and a very treasured possession. Due to its age this book does contain writings that would be considered controversial today.
However it gives a unique opportunity to see autographs collected in 1918 and a rare insight into how people felt at the time. Some of the images are not politically correct and you may need to choose which ones to share with your class.
This Autograph Book belonged to my Grandfather so it is very special to me.
He fought in France from January 1915-October 1918.
This Autograph book was written 1918.
Some entries are funny, some are sad and some make you think.
There are also some lovely drawings, one ‘The Coming Generation’ refers to the formation of the RAF.

This extensive bundle introduces you to my ‘Colourful Speech’.
I started using Colourful Semantics with a group of children, however I found it difficult to integrate it with the whole class learning and progression through school.
I developed Colourful Speech which I found to be more flexible.
Starting with Simple Sentence Structure the children gain a knowledge of grammar which will develop as they progress.

Social Story- A story that helps a child to understand a situation or event.

It is very basic and the illustrations are very simple.
It helped her to understand that, sometimes things just happen by accident.
It helped her to understand that, sometimes people can misunderstand what has happened.
It helped her to understand that, If we use the wrong body language, what we are thinking may not be clear.
It helped her to understand that, when you have had time to think, you can chose a better way to explain.
Writing bespoke stories, targeted at an individual child or group, can quickly deal with issues that arise.
Stories shared in the classroom or at home helped us to work as a team.
