Children who find difficulty in reading can be helped to visualise the meaning of words through symbols. SymbolWorld’s stories use simple clear symbols that represent a single idea or concept.
SymbolWorld is a non-commercial website for symbol users. It creates an inclusive learning environment and makes favourite stories, nursery rhymes and films accessible to all learners. The website actively encourages contributions from symbol users.
Top tips:
1. Choose a story, nursery rhyme or film you both know or like the sound of.
2. Read it together with the help of the symbols.
3. Consider subscribing to the Communicate: Webwide browser if you’d like to hear all the articles on SymbolWorld read out.
