Developed twenty years ago by Dr Susan Ebbels, the SHAPE CODING^TM system uses visual coding to show a child the rules for how words are put together in sentences, developing a child’s understanding of spoken and written grammar and their ability to use grammar successfully to express themselves.

By making the course available online, we hope many more professionals will be able to learn about the system and use it with the children they teach. To date, 135 participants have completed the course, which includes personalised feedback and certificates of completion.

One participant said: “[The course was] very detailed but accessible, at first it seems quite complicated but as you go through the course it becomes clear.

Online courses can be difficult to complete without support but this was really good.

“Online courses can be difficult to complete without support but this was really good. I had no experience of the SHAPE CODING^TM system, now I feel confident to use it, it's a great way of simplifying sentence structure.”
