Colorful Semantics Visual Cue Cards

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.

These cue cards will help children to remember what each color represents in the sentence. They can used as classroom display to be a regular reminder or can be laminated and used at tables during colorful semantic lessons.

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 visual cue cards showing:

Orange - Who?

Green - What?

Yellow - What doing?

Blue - Where?

Red - What like?

Purple - How?

Black - Who to?

Brown - When?
