Colourful Semantics A Resource for Developing Children s Spoken and Written Language Skills 1st Edition Nhs Forth Valley

This comprehensive resource pack, developed in conjunction with education staff, draws on the principles of Alison Bryan’s original Colourful Semantics approach to provide professionals with an engaging, dynamic way to support children’s language development. By coding sentences using colour, symbols and signs, this visual approach aims to:

• Teach understanding of question words
• Develop vocabulary and increase sentence complexity
• Increase range and complexity of verbs (children with delayed or disordered spoken language skills often overuse simple verbs such as do, go or get)
• Improve children’s written language skills
