Zog – Colourful Semantics Sentence Building

This Colourful Semantics resource supports pupils in building clear, structured sentences using the well-known story Zog by Julia Donaldson.

Using the colour-coded approach (Who? Doing? What? Where? Describing?), pupils can construct and expand sentences based on key events from the story, including Zog learning new skills at dragon school, hurting himself, being helped by the girl, and the final resolution with Princess Pearl.

Includes:

Colour-coded sentence building grids

Structured sentence frames

Past tense verb modelling (e.g. learned, crashed, captured, trained)

Character vocabulary (e.g. keen, brave, proud)

Opportunities to build simple and expanded sentences

Ideal for:

EYFS and KS1

Speech and language groups

SEND and EAL learners

Pupils working below age-related expectations

Designed to strengthen sentence structure, vocabulary development and confidence in spoken and written language using a popular classroom text.
