Overview of training:
Grammar Semantics is a take on Colourful Semantics which is an approach created by Alison Bryan, a Speech and Language Therapist based in the UK. It is a method of teaching children how to understand and build sentences. It is aimed at helping children to develop their grammar, but it is rooted in the meaning of words (semantics). At The Teach Hub, we have built upon the basics of Colourful Semantics in order to use it as a tried and tested approach to teach the majority of writing and grammar concepts to children. The view is that approach of Colourful Semantics will provide an engaging hook to bring the familiar to new learning, particularly when the abstract terms of verb, noun, and adjective come into learning.
An informative course that is aimed at English Subject Leaders, Primary School teachers and Senior Leadership team members.
