About colourful semantics

Colourful semantics helps children build sentences by colour: orange for who, yellow for what doing, green for what and blue for where. Children choose a picture card for each coloured box and the sentence builds underneath, ready to read aloud together. There are over 70 picture cards to choose from, and you can add your own words and photos, such as children's names, class trips or favourite toys. Start with just who and what doing, then add more parts as children grow in confidence. Great for early writers, speech and language work and children with SEND.
