Colorful Semantics Sentence and Picture Jigsaw Match

Colorful Semantics is a Speech and Language therapy technique which uses color coded cards to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence,and how to join them together in the correct order. Colorful semantics breaks down sentences into their thematic roles and then color codes them to help children to learn the important elements of a sentence,and how to join them together in the correct order. The approach initially has 4 key color codes: subject is orange, verb is yellow, object is green and place is blue. As children progress in their understanding there are further stages for adverbs, adjectives and time.

This set can be laminated for durability and so that it can be re-used. It can be used as an independent activity or on 1:1 basis. The child will read the sentence using the color codes to help them decipher the meaning and then find the corresponding picture.

Colorful semantics is perfect for use with young children learning correct sentence formation or in specialist settings with children with special educational needs. This resource can be used as a learning aid during whole class literacy or on a small group or 1:1 basis.

Included are 30 jigsaw cards for children to match the correct sentence with picture.
