Support children to develop sentence structure, vocabulary and descriptive language with this engaging Billy Goats Gruff Colourful Semantics resource.
Designed around the familiar story, these activities encourage children to build sentences by identifying and arranging different parts of a sentence before writing their completed sentence independently.
🐐 Adjective + Who + Doing
Children build sentences using an adjective to describe the character, followed by who they are and what they are doing.
✏️ Adjective + Who + Doing + What
A more detailed option that encourages children to expand their sentences by adding what the character is doing or interacting with.
🧩 Sentence Building Cards
Children arrange the colour-coded cards in the correct order to construct their sentence.
📝 Write the Sentence
Once the sentence has been built, children write it on the lines provided underneath, reinforcing the connection between sentence structure and independent writing.
♻️ Laminate & Reuse
Simply laminate the top sheet and use the cards alongside it again and again. Children can arrange, rearrange and build different sentences before recording their ideas.

Support phonics, blending and handwriting with these hands-on, reusable sound button mats, designed to help children hear, segment and blend words in a clear and engaging way.
The mats combine Elkonin boxes, sound buttons and handwriting lines, with additional space for children to use playdough or another manipulative to physically create their sound buttons.
🔴 Elkonin Boxes
Children can identify the individual phonemes they hear and represent each sound in the corresponding box.
🟠 Make Your Own Sound Buttons
Use the dedicated space to add playdough or another tactile material and create the sound buttons. Children can push each button as they say the sound, helping them track each phoneme and blend the sounds together.
✏️ Handwriting Lines
Children can then practise writing the word, reinforcing the connection between the sounds they hear and the graphemes they write.
♻️ Laminate & Reuse
Simply laminate the mats and use with playdough, counters, dry-wipe pens or other classroom manipulatives. Wipe clean and use again and again!
