Created and maintained by CALL Scotland, Symbols for All provides teaching resources in an accessible format for learners with additional support needs. The resources are designed to support the introduction of picture symbols and their use in everyday school activities by providing a core 'starter' set.
There are symbols for the environment and the learner, which can be used as a whole school resource and for individual pupils.
The curricular resources are printable PDFs created with Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) and Widgit symbols, organised around Scotland's 'Curriculum for Excellence' (CfE).
Whilst the resources have been categorised into curricular areas, developing participation and communication is a theme which underpins them all. The resources are in a variety of formats such as step-by-step instructions, core vocabulary communication boards and visual supports, plus many more.
The Bookbug resources are printable PDFs created with SymbolStix Symbols to accompany the Bookbug P1 Family bag and Explorer bag, gifted to every child in Scotland by Scottish Book Trust.
The resources encourage participation in Shared Reading at all levels and come in a variety of formats.
CALL Scotland and the Scottish Book Trust collected the 'Outstanding Community Inclusion' Award for our Bookbug symbolised resources and accessible digital versions of the Bookbug Family Bag books, which are gifted to every P1 child in Scotland for National Book Week in November each year.
