The videos will guide you through the colour system as well as give you lots of practical ideas on how to use Language Through Colour to support reading comprehension, vocabulary development, sentence structure, narrative skills and much more. The training presentation includes loads of great video clips of Language Through Colour in use, so you can see how easily transferable the skills are to the classroom. Tips are given on how Language Through Colour can be easily incorporated to support curriculum learning as a fun, class approach that promotes independence and stretches even the most able children.
Colour coding helps show children where each word goes in the sentence. The colours help children to learn what each word means and how they fit together in the sentence. Using colour coding helps children understand ‘wh’ questions like who, what, and why, and it can help children who miss out words like ‘is’ and ‘the’ in a sentence.
Make sure you are watching the correct video for the system that your school has chosen to use. Either Language Through Colour or Colourful Semantics.
