This pack contains a comprehensive set of colourful semantics cards, including who, doing, what, where, when, how, to who and adjectives (12 pages), a display explaining the different colours and linking them to word classes with examples, a variety of worksheets to introduce and develop the use of colorful semantics and a reminder bookmark to help children use these independently.
Colourful semantics to go with 23 CVC words.
I split these into 4 words per week (one week, has 3 words) and we work on spelling these words and using them in sentences, but this can be easily adapted if you wanted to use more words per week.
I have included colourful semantics boards, from the basic Who, What doing, What, to more complex Who, What doing, What, Where, Why. I have laminated these for my class and differentiate so some of the students complete only the 3 word sentences and some complete the 4 or 5 word sentences, but using the same pictures.
I have included 3 pictures of examples of students using the boards and words (I hav blanked out student names)
I created this resource as I was struggling to find a word bank suitable for secondary school students, so this is suited for AQA Language Paper 1, Section B tasks, but could also be used across other phases and exam boards.
Prints A3 size so that all words are visible, the categories are divided into colour-coded sections for sensory language, setting, colour and characterisation. Within these sections there are lists of words that describe:
- Texture
- Taste/smell
- Sound
- Brightness/darkness
- Clarity / opacity
- Shape
- Speech
- Body movements
- Size: small/large
- Good weather/ bad weather
- Temperature: hot/cold
- Positive personality traits
- Negative personality traits
- Positive emotions
- Negative emotions
- Colour: black, brown, grey, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white

There are a variety of different sentence structures to help develop children’s writing. It starts with building a sentence using the colour and then going on to writing the sentence with the ‘little words’ added in. These can be used to help Key Stage 2 use colourful semantics in a way that will help develop their writing and create more detailed sentences independently. They could be used with a picture stimulus or the child’s own ideas.
Here are lots of different fun teaching resources for students who are learning to speak English as a second language, or for students who want to revise and improve their understanding of English. This is perfect for both an home or school setting.

This is a multi sensory, plain English version of The Little Mermaid.
The story is based on the Ladybird Favourite tales version. It has been rewritten in simple language. The equipment is detailed so you can make a shopping list!
The multi sensory elements are described throughout the story, but feel free to adapt to suit your needs, or if you have a better idea!
I will be using the resource with secondary age, SEN (SLD / MLD/ complex needs) students for Literacy lessons.
The ‘chapters’ are quite short, so each chapter can be used as a sensory story. I plan to do one chapter a week with my class.
The use of multi sensory input helps students to retain and understand the information within the story. For more information about why sensory stories are beneficial Google Joanna Grace.
I hope you enjoy using this story with your students!

In the 36 photo worksheets:
12 for lower abilities- find, cut and stick from a choice of 4 answers.
12 for middle abilities- find, copy and extend. The start of sentences are modelled and lines are already in place to practise writing on the line.
12 for higher abilities- students should be encouraged to write full sentences independently. Lines are in place for practising writing on the line.
The 6 Nursery Rhymes are: The Grand Old Duke of York, Row Row Row your Boat, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Humpty Dumpty, Itsy-bitsy Spider and Hey Diddle Diddle.
There are 6 storyboards for all students to order events from the rhyme, then 6 worksheets for lower abilities- choosing an answer from a choice of 3 and circle/point/say the correct answer.
6 worksheets for middle abilities- choosing a correct answer from a choice of 3, then copying the answer, practicing handwriting on the lines.
6 worksheets for higher abilities to practice their handwriting, writing in full sentences and using capital letters and full stops.
For extension work- ask students to create their own questions, illustrate a rhyme themselves, recite a rhyme or create and illustrate one of their own.
Picture comprehension questions, using colourful semantics to support. Previously used with SEN learners.

A super-fun Special Needs version of the Jack and the Beanstalk story that children can use to familiarise themselves with the story and learn to answer Who and What questions in a fun and engaging way. Drag and drop the cards to complete a sentence using Colourful semantics colours- orange for who and green for What questions.
The software offers instant feedback- it is not possible to drop the wrong card. If the answer is correct the card stays in place and a happy tune is played. If the answer is incorrect the card jumps back to its original position and a sad tune is played.
A great way to assess understanding.
This program has lots of Who and What questions. The program works best in Google Chrome.
