Colourful Semantics Starter Pack

Colourful semantics is a therapy approach created by Alison Bryan. It helps children understand how the meanings of words are linked in sentences. Each semantic category/word type is colour coded.

Colourful Semantics can be used for:

• Encouraging wider vocabulary
• Making sentences longer,
• Helping children answer questions
• Developing use of nouns, verbs, prepositions, and adjectives
• Improving story telling skills
• Can be transferred to written sentences and written language comprehension
• Can be carried out individually or in small groups
• Can be carried out by teachers and teaching assistants with the support of a speech and language therapist

Included in this colourful semantics starter pack are detailed instructions and materials for ‘who’ ‘what doing’ ‘what’ and ‘where’ questions and also 4 interactive books! BY POPULAR DEMAND! THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN UPDATED SO THAT YOU CAN EDIT THE COLOURS!
