This is a step-by-step guide on how to use and teach Colourful Semantics, designed for anyone who is new to it. Colourful Semantics is a Speech and Language therapy intervention programme developed by a speech and language therapist called Alison Bryan. In the programme, she used colour to highlight the semantic (meaning) within sentences. This intervention uses colour coded cards to help children learn the important elements of a sentence and how to join them together in the correct order. Colourful Semantics helps children to develop language and vocabulary, and build sentences in key levels. It is aimed at helping children develop their grammar which is routed in the meaning of the word. Hence, the name semantics. This guide on how to use and teach Colourful Semantics includes: • An explanation of what Colourful Semantics • A description of the first 4 levels of Colourful Semantics • An explanation on the benefits and who can benefit from this intervention • A detailed explanation of how to use and teach Colourful Semantics at Levels 1-4 • Suggestions of who can implement colourful semantics • Printable resources. The printable resources include colour coded cue cards, sentence strips and action picture ready for activities.
