Colourful Semantics Lesson Planning Support helps teachers embed structured language support directly into classroom teaching. These English lesson plans align with curriculum objectives from Nursery through to Year 6:

Using visual symbols and scaffolded activities, the plans support pupils to build clear sentences, improve storytelling, and develop confidence with both spoken and written language.
How can the lesson plans be used?
These lesson plans can be used for whole-class teaching, small group support, or targeted 1:1 interventions. They make it easier for teachers to integrate Colourful Semantics into everyday lessons. They also help pupils with speech, language and communication needs fully access the curriculum.
