Resource Description:

Bring history to life for all learners with this Dual-Coded SEN & Speech, Language, and Communication Needs (SLCN) Resource Pack designed to support non-verbal pupils, early language learners, and children with complex learning needs studying The Great Fire of London.

Using high-contrast historical illustration, standardized Widgit/PCS visual symbols, and structured Colour Semantics, this complete set of 9 visual boards drastically reduces cognitive load while scaffolding sentence structure, emotional expression, and comprehension.

What’s Included in This Pack?

• 9 Dual-Coded Scene Boards: Featuring detailed scenes (e.g., Samuel Pepys writing his diary while London burns) paired with Colour Semantics sentence strips (Subject + Verb + Object).
• Integrated Makaton Sign Prompts: Dedicated signing key boxes on every board to support multimodal communication.
• Core & Fringe Vocabulary Focus: Highlighted key target words (Samuel Pepys, write, diary, fire) for quick visual mapping and AAC identification.
• Structured Teacher Prompt Cards: Open and closed questioning grids (“Who is writing?”, “What can he see from the window?”) alongside extension targets to scaffold guided reading.
• Self-Regulation & Classroom AAC Toolbars: Every board includes built-in visual communication strips for emotional check-ins (happy, sad, worried, excited), sensory needs (help, drink, break, quiet), and learning expectations (look, listen, think, talk).

Ideal For:

Primary SEN Coordinators (SENCOs), Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs), Key Stage 1 & 2 History Classrooms, EAL Support, and Special School settings.
