Description

Negation: not+adjective is a colourful pack of games and activities aimed at developing understanding and use of negative sentence forms.

Most children learn the rules of their language at an early age, simply by being exposed to the language they hear around them,- some children will require focused and targeted help to support their learning. When we want to say that something is not true, or not the case, we use negative words or phrases. Negation can be indicated in a number of ways, most commonly by using a negative word such as ‘no’, ‘not’ or ‘none’. One of the most common negative words is ‘not’.This Negation: not+adjective pack provides illustrations and activities which will enable the adult to model and demonstrate ‘not + adjective’ phrases, for children who have language delay. Examples include ‘not cold’, ‘not sad’, and ‘not round’. It also includes ideas and opportunities for the child to begin to use the not+ adjective phrase themselves in a fun and functional way.

Children who require additional support to develop their grammar system need to hear multiple repetitions of their target grammatical construction, accompanied by close modelling, correction and positive praise of their own attempts to construct the negative. The colourful illustrations and activities within this Negation: not+adjective pack will facilitate this process. Activities include:

Fun picture strips (clean/not clean; cold/not cold and so on)
Tim and Tom, are twins. They like to have things that look the same. (Which T-shirt should Tom choose? Which dog? and so on)
