Thinking about bringing Colourful Semantics into your classroom? Great choice! This structured approach to language development is a fantastic way to help students build their sentence skills. Here’s everything you need to get started!
1. Get trained!
Before you jump in, training is key! Colourful Semantics is more than just colourful sentence building—it’s a research-backed approach to developing language skills. That’s why we recommend training with Integrated Treatment Services (ITS), whose course is developed alongside Alison Bryan, the creator of Colourful Semantics.
The training will give you:
A clear understanding of how to implement Colourful Semantics in your teaching
Confidence in using it effectively for different learning needs
Practical tools to support speech and language development
ITS also provides a digital Colourful Semantics assessment, which helps you track and baseline your students’ progress before diving into activities.
2. Start using our Apps!
Once you're trained, you’re ready to bring Colourful Semantics to life in your classroom. Our Colourful Semantics Bundle of Apps is the perfect place to start! Here’s what’s included:
Classic – The original Colourful Semantics activity
Sorting – Organise words by their Colourful Semantics categories
Sequencing – Put sentences in the correct order
Find Words – A fun way to reinforce vocabulary
Fill Gaps – Complete sentences with missing words
Silly Mix – Create hilarious mixed-up sentences for extra fun!
These six different games provide various ways to practice and reinforce the Colourful Semantics approach, allowing users to stay engaged and motivated while they learn.
No need to create resources from scratch—just open the app and start learning!
