"Sentifix components what
a great mix! Colour coding cubes were great for visual learners, cards
bright and colourul, and the book were clearly laid out. Aspects which
worked well were the colour codes, and the key showing how they were matched
to the children's cards was clearly laid out. We also liked the game which
was similar to the sentence cubes resource, but extended to include colourful
cards and a game. In addition, Sentifix provided
a clear, visual way to change sentences into questions. Overall, we found
Sentifix both attractive and inviting. It was
good value for money, and the children thought the box and cards were
exciting and wanted to use them." The children do not need a vast amount of support to use this resource as they picked up the idea very quickly and the colour-coded bricks were helpful for this...I think the resource is innovative in terms of its layout of story cards and connectable bricks. The chidren have enjoyed using it and it has encouraged them to get involved with reading and building sentences." |
"Sentifix is
colourful and attractive to learners, and the pupils enjoyed achieving
positive results. It is very well presented, and reasonably priced bearing
in mind the many ways it could be effective in the children's learning.
It would be a valuabe resource to any primary learning environment, and
is adaptable to a wide variety of children. In short, Sentifix is an asset
to any classroom teacher."

"[Sentifix] is a lovely activity for group work with plenty of scope to adapt according to ages and abilities of children. Great to increase speech and grammatical awareness and there's lots happening on each of the cards to stimulate children's ideas." Sally Brain, Class Teacher, Weston-under-Penyard Primary School, Herefordshire "Overall, Sentifix is lovely and colourful, and
the children liked handling and looking at the bricks as well as reading
the words. The pictures are a nice quality: bright and simple. We also
liked the way that the large pictures were multi-racial...The activity
is a nice finishing activity - the children, once instructed, could easily
do this independently. They also loved making silly sentences - thereby
nurturing creative skills, rather than making ridged sentences."
"Sentifix is what sentence level work has been waiting for. It's easy to use, colourful with a purpose and essential for the kinaesthetic learners." |
