Sentence Building Set

Sentence Building Set

Support communication, answer WH questions and help users confidently share their everyday experiences with our engaging Sentence Building Set, inspired by the Colourful Semantics approach.

Designed to make language learning visual, interactive and fun, this resource helps children develop sentence structure, comprehension and expressive language while also providing a practical visual support for everyday communication.

Whether talking about who they saw, where they went, what they did, what they ate or what happened during their day, users can use the colour-coded visuals to build sentences and confidently communicate with parents, teachers, therapists and support workers.

The Colourful Semantics approach, created by Alison Bryan, uses colour-coded sentence structures to help children understand the role and meaning of words within a sentence. It is widely used by speech pathologists, educators and allied health professionals to support language development, sentence building and WH questions.

The colour-coded sentence structure includes:

🟧 WHO
🟨 WHAT DOING
🟩 WHAT
🟦 WHERE

Perfect for supporting:

• WH questions
• Sentence building
• Expressive language
• Receptive language
• Communication about everyday experiences
• Talking about school, home and community activities
• Sequencing and comprehension
• Conversation skills
• Building confidence when communicating with others

How To Use

Simply display a photo, picture book image, printed visual or an image on an iPad or computer alongside the resource. Using the colour-coded sentence strip, the user selects the appropriate symbols to describe the image and builds a sentence step-by-step.

The resource is also perfect for supporting conversations about the user's own day. Use family photos, pictures from school, outings, holidays or everyday activities to help the user communicate who they were with, what they did, where they went and what happened. The visual sentence structure provides a scaffold for communication, making it easier to express thoughts, experiences and ideas.

The interchangeable WH visuals allow beginners to start with fewer sentence components and gradually expand as skills develop. Additional symbols can also be rearranged to introduce more advanced sentence structures, including describing words.
