Communication Friendly Strategies

Integrated Visual Coding

 

As a communication friendly School we use colour and shape coding to support children with their understanding of language. Each word class is represented by a different shape and colour; all classrooms have coded grammar displays to support learning throughout the school.  We use Makaton sign language to support question words and mathematical language.

  • Cued Articulation The idea of CA is to simplify the organisation and pronunciation of spoken English. All of the 49 sounds, or phonemes, which make up the English phonological system have a separate hand sign which is related to where and how in the mouth the sounds are made. The consonant sounds are colour coded for written work which helps decipher words with tricky spelling. The cues are based on linguistic theory and are logical and easy and fun to learn. CA is not a sign language where whole words and finger spelling are used, nor should it be confused with Cued Speech which is a totally different scheme used specifically with the severely hearing impaired.
