Semantic feature analysis – describing objects by key attributes – is an evidence-based strategy to learn new vocabulary and word meanings. It can deepen students’ understanding of words they already know. The strategy can also help children with word-finding or other language or learning difficulties, e.g. by giving them a way of describing what they mean when they can’t find the word.
This no-preparation 69-page pack is designed to help students of all abilities to learn the strategy of semantic feature analysis in the context of objects that they are likely to encounter “in the real world”.
To make it accessible to all students, we have chosen easily pictured objects from common environments in which young children participate in everyday activities.

This 44-page no-preparation pack is designed to help students of all abilities to learn and apply the strategy of semantic feature analysis to verbs. To make it accessible to all students, we have chosen high frequency verbs. We have selected six key attributes that researchers and speech pathologists have found clinically to be of the greatest use in learning and recalling verbs.
With a fully scripted introduction that models how to use the resource, a colourful scaffold, and 30 examples, this pack is designed to give students plenty of structured practice describing high frequency verbs in isolation and in sentences.
