Rainbow Speakers - Foundation

The Rainbow Speakers Packs provide sets of structured, adult-led resources that work on developing a child’s spoken language, specifically the order of words in simple spoken sentences or syntax.

The focus of the work is a core activity called ‘Colourful Sentences’, in which pupils organise colour-coded picture cards, related to a question prompt, to make a sentence which they then say out loud.

In the Foundation Pack the pupil is taken step by step through simple spoken sentence construction using visual prompts and supports. Levels 1-4 work on basic sentence structure, levels 5-6 build on from this to enhance meaning by the introduction of descriptors and level 7 makes sure all little words are included.
