Colourful Semantics- Sentence building book
Teach WH questions and build sentences with colourful semantics, using our cool sentence building book!
Colourful semantics is an approach created by Alison Bryan specifically designed to build sentence structure in children. It’s system colour codes sentences, breaking down each word and helping children understand the meaning of each word. It’s also a fantastic way to teach WH questions!
Colourful semantics is used widely in schools, with speech pathologists and other allied health professionals.
Directions for use:
Simply display your desired photo (not included) with this resource main page, or look at an image on the computer or in a book. Under the image use the colourful semantics strip (who/what doing/what/where).
Under each word place a few colour coded choices to correspond with each word. The user is then encouraged to choose the correct symbols to describe the image and place it on to the strip.
The WH symbols on the main display board are interchangeable so beginners can start with just one WH word and expand as they learn, gradually fading out the visual choices. The individual symbols can be rearranged if you wish to also include an adjective once the user is advanced.
