One of the devices we use to support SEND writing and reading is colourful semantics. These can help children visually build a sentence using colour coding for the different parts needed. It helps children build associations, for example 'action' will be associated with yellow within the sentence. A useful parent guide (Credit: Newham speech and language services 2020) is attached.

Some children access writing through the use of 'talk to text'. This is an application available through our iPad's at school that can allow children to orally build a sentence. 

There are other strategies used by individual class teachers that support the teaching and learning of writing across the school.
