I have been designing resources for many years as I worked with preschool and primary age youngsters with delayed or impaired speech and language skills. The resources using symbols are free. My latest resources which I have illustrated are extra tasks based on Marion Blank's Language Levels (previous ones have been free). They can be used with groups of mixed language ability and are reasonably priced.

Signs in the environment - activities and game

Print on A4. Activities are based around understanding that environmental signs may proscribe, prescribe or be for information! One file gives basic shapes for inventing some signs for an island environment. The other gives a Signs dice-and-counter game where players have to interpret the signs as they land on a symbol; a page of sign symbols to cut out and make your own game or story; and a story with gaps to fill by sticking in appropriate signs from the previous page.

Symbols (c) Widgit Software 2010. Bonds to 5 (and subtract from 5). Three similar stories and worksheets. Print the three stories 2-up on A4 paper. Print the worksheets on A4 paper. Suggestions on the worksheet pages use a very visual ‘take-away’ method first (by destroying the correct number of images). Then, the child has to say how many are needed to replace them to get back to 5 before the next sum, and cut the correct number of images for the replacement. Sums are also presented in written form.

The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark - simplified

(7)
Three resources to help children with impaired language skills understand and benefit from this lovely book used in so many schools. Illustrated with PCS or Widgit symbols. The pages could be presented with a simplified telling. If the CD is available, it is always useful to hear the story read exactly the same lots of times and the pages could accompany this. The song prompt cards for one of the CD songs lists the 'wow words' - listen and find the card, or use the card to sing the song with the instrumental version. The mind-map is a prompt for children to retell the story in their own way.
