Colourful Semantics: The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar themed colourful semantics. The cards help struggling speakers and writers to retell a story, giving them more confidence when they write. A brilliant tool to support children with EFL - ESL - ELD - EAL - SEN!

Colourful semantics is an approach created by Alison Bryan. It is a great way to support children who struggle to write independently.

Colourful Semantics helps children to:

•Develop a wider vocabulary

•Make sentences longer

•Develop use of nouns, verbs, prepositions and adjectives

•Improve story telling skills

The colour scheme relates to the types of words in a sentence: Who? (noun) Doing? (verb) What? (object) Where? (location). Children use the strips included to help them structure their own sentences.

This pack contains story specific vocabulary, including:

3 who - noun/person cards

3 doing - verb cards

18 what - noun/object cards

9 time conjunction cards

9 adjective cards

2 where - noun/place cards
