The Three Little Pigs themed colourful semantics. The cards help struggling speakers and writers to retell a familiar tale, giving them more confidence when they write. Colourful semantics is an approach created by Alison Bryan. It is a great way to support children who struggle to write independently. Colourful Semantics helps children to: •Develop a wider vocabulary •Make sentences longer •Develop use of nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives •Improve story telling skills The colour scheme relates to the types of words in a sentence: Who? (noun) Doing? (verb) What? (object) Where? (location). Children use the strips included to help them structure their own sentences. This pack contains fairy tale specific vocabulary, including: 4 who - noun/person cards 9 doing - verb cards 9 what - noun/object cards 4 where - noun/place cards

This booklet contains different cards for who, what doing, what, where, when, to who, how and describing words. Perfect for an introduction to colourful semantics. Ideal for a velcro pack to allow children to swap out different parts of their sentence to create a variety of different structures.

A game I made for my small class of learners with autism. Suitable for any small group introduction - e.g. intervention group, speech and language, attention and listening. Learners throw a dice and move around the board. When they land on a question, they answer the question. I like to ask another member of the group a question relating to the answer, to encourage learners to pay attention to each other's answers - my children tend to have very little interest in each other! Supports social skills, attention and listening, turn taking. Used for specialist autism group but appropriate for any mainstream KS1 / KS2 group or older SEN group.
