A school-based or home-based program designed to equip teachers and parents of 3-4 year old children with activities that will develop semantic knowledge.

Semantic Scenes and Questioning – Set 1 is designed to equip teachers and parents of 3-4 year old children with activities that will develop semantic knowledge. A good grasp of semantics broadens a child’s understanding of the meaning of words, which then helps them to understand what they hear or read and also helps them to express exactly what they want to say.

A child who is struggling with semantics will be the child who:

  • Can’t stay on the topic of simple story or news telling, but goes off on unrelated tangents.
  • Takes a long time to think of particular words they want to use in conversation.
  • Uses non specific vocabulary such as ‘that’ ‘there’ ‘this one’.
  • Has difficulty sorting items into groups, describing them, and finding differences and similarities.
  • Has difficulty understanding instructions that include time vocabulary such as ‘before’ ‘after’ ‘first’ etc.

‘Semantics’ refers to the meaning of sentences and words and how words relate to one another. That is, whether words belong in groups or categories together (e.g. Apples and oranges and pears are all fruit), whether they are similar to each other, or different and the features they have e.g. Size, shape and colour.

Another way to think of semantics is like a network or web. Each word we speak or read has a place in this web. Each word has other words linked to it, some closely related and some distantly related. Each word belongs to several groups, some big and some small and each word has a definition that sets it apart from other words that are similar. Some words are related by the fact that they are actually opposites! All this information surrounding words is what we aim to teach young children about the vocabulary that is appropriate to their stage of development and life experience.

Semantics is one facet of oral language. Given that oral language is not only a strong predictor of academic and social success but also a necessary requirement for good mental health, it is important that parents and teachers have the skills and resources needed to facilitate the development of oral language in young children.

The aim of this program is to train parents and teachers to structure and facilitate developmentally appropriate semantic activities for 3 to 4 year old children. This program provides:

  • Semantic activities and accompanying picture resources.
  • Examples of appropriate and inadequate responses for 3-4 year old children.
  • Techniques and strategies to implement when a child provides an inadequate answer.

Features:

  • Colour thematic picture scenes include the zoo, transport, at home, food, school, toys, Australian animals, clothes, under the sea and birthday party.
  • Specific semantic questioning is outlined for each picture scene.
  • Examples of appropriate and inadequate responses for 3-4 year old children.
  • Techniques and strategies are outlined when a child provides an inadequate answer.

A program for 4-6 year olds, incorporating Stage 1 phonic concepts.
Students require alphabetic and phonic knowledge in order to embark on the process of learning to read, spell and write. However, rather than letter naming ability, sound knowledge is more important for entry into literacy learning.

Not only are alphabet sounds more important for early literacy, but alphabetic sound ability is more difficult for students to acquire. For this reason and designed by Speech Pathologists for teachers and parents, Alphabet the Multi Sensory Way aims to establish strong alphabet and phonic sound ability. Within this program for 4 to 6 year olds, a multi-sensory approach to teaching the alphabetic and phonic sounds has been adopted:

Students kinaesthetically feel what their mouth is doing when they produce the alphabet and phonic sounds.
Students see what their mouths look like when their mouths produce the alphabet and phonic sounds (via the visual representation of the mouth on each page).
Students also visually connect a core picture/word with the alphabet and phonic sounds (e.g. ‘mix’, ‘teeth’ and ‘snake’).
From an auditory (and phonemic awareness) perspective students identify the initial sounds in simple target words (e.g. teeth starts with a ‘t’).
Students move and rehearse a basic action associated with each target picture (which also engages a kinaesthetic dimension).

The order of presentation is:

Group 1: s, a, t, p, i, n
Group 2: c, h, e, r, m, d
Group 3: g, o, u, l, f, b
Group 4: j, z, x, y, k, q, w, v
Group 5: sh, ch, th/th, oo/oo, ee, ck
Group 6: ay, or, ar, er.ai, oy, (i)ng, oi, all

This flip book incorporating Stage 1 phonic concepts features:

Simple to use format.
Card sets explicitly teach the alphabet and phonic sounds.
Students feel their mouth making the sounds.
A body action is outlined for each sound.
An effective and engaging way to teach the alphabet and phonic sounds.
