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.

I created this Social story, Poem & Workbook about a boy who is struggling with school to help the many children who are finding life difficult at the moment. It could be used in one to one, group or whole class situations. It includes a short open ended text, a poem, discussion cards and a workbook.
This workbook is an irrefutable, supportive tool for children who are finding every day life challenging. It could be used with children who have missed school and support with transition due to covid, or children who are on the Autistic Spectrum or struggling with communication/Speech and Language, to talk through how they feel. It is an essential resource for educators packed with creative ideas and resources for busy teachers. It has easy to read content and a vast array of activities that support in teaching young people to identify and understand their feelings and sense of self. It supports discussion and empathy from different perspectives on how to live with difference, communicate well and develop a sense that they are part of a community. It is an inspirational approach to education, an incredibly useful tool in the classroom and for life.

I hope you enjoy using these resources and will let me know if you have any suggestions to improve them.
Here is another one of my Mental Health Resource

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.

The colour monster use it alongside Anna Llenas book. Or use my poems to encourage discussion & inspire creativity.
Overwhelmed Social Story-To encourage discussion about mental health or as a comprehension activity.
Internet Safety Blog- this can be used in class or shared with parents and carers.
Telling the Truth/Broken Pen- Two basic social stories to help explain social skills.
I remember When I was Small - This poem can encourage children to share their memories of the pandemic and how iot effected them and their families.
The Rainbow- This poem talks about education and our goals as we work together.
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.
This Bundle Starts with High Frequency words and progresses through different Literacy areas such as Pronouns and sentence structure.
This bundle is a Cross Curriculum pack that helps to explore and compare the world we live in.
Travel around the world comparing wildlife in America, Australia and the United Kingdon. I have included the Minibeast Resource that is useful to all age groups but, can be used alongside The Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle) to engage younger students.
I have put on my City of York pack which was made for our Local Environment study which could be useful to compare whith where you live.
I have also included my Space Resource incase you want to travel further afield.
These resources include colour co-ordinated Grammar that links to my Colourful Speech range.
This Speech and Language Bundle in a fantastic resource to use with children. It can be used an an assessment or use alongside interventions.
It covers Phoneme/Sounds (R, D. L, S and T) In Initial Medial and End position.
Of course it can be used on screen with whole class, groups or with individual pupils. However I found when printed and laminated in a folder it was used and loved on a daily basis with S&L pupils.
