Colorful Semantics Sentence Making Support

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 has boards for children to form the sentence using cards and then write it out underneath. There are 2 different designs of board with different writing lines. There are also different boards for different sentence types and lengths to differentiate to the child’s ability.

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 8 different sentence boards and 4 sets of colour coded cards for who, what doing, what and where. There are 354 cards in total.
