The Paperback Book is brand new, measures approximately 22cm x 27cm and has 24 pages.
There are 2 sets of 6 Snap cards with 6 ‘Who’ question cards for guessing games. These cards show the 6 named dinosaurs in the story.
There are 4 toys attached to a baseboard with Velcro ( a big and little robot and dinosaur), and 4 location cards (A5 size, backed in card) of a red bucket, a blue bucket, a red box and a blue box, with Velcro to indicate IN, ON and UNDER. There are 48 picture instructions showing the 4 toys in every position.
There is also an advice sheet to support using these games with children.
These resources are designed to support understanding and use of words for size, position and place, up to the 5 word level e.g. ‘put the BIG ROBOT UNDER the RED BOX’, ‘put the LITTLE DINOSAUR IN the BLUE BUCKET’ etc.
All the above picture resources are laminated in non-reflective Matt plastic, and fit into an A5 bag labelled with a brown parcel tag.
The Story Sequencing Baseboard is 2 strips of 4 pictures, backed with card and attached with treasury tags so it can be folded. It comes with 8 matching single pictures.
The Colourful Semantics Baseboard is A4 size and has a box for placement of 1 of the story pictures, and a colour-coded 4-part sentence strip underneath with the appropriate prompt questions: subject(orange ‘Who?) - verb (yellow -‘What doing?’- object (green - ‘What?’) and place (blue -‘Where?’). There are 17 colour-coded pictures to place onto these strips: 2 x subjects, 5 x verbs, 2 x objects and 8 x places.
These resources are designed to support children to sequence the events of a story, and to make 4 word sentences to describe each stage of the story.
All the colours are taken from the most recent and widely-used ‘Colourful Semantics’ theory.
All the picture resources and the book fit into an A4 size bag, labelled with a brown parcel tag.
