Symbols for Literacy

We have used symbols for many years, as signage in the environment, and as a means of supporting conversation for people who have communication difficulties.

The use of symbols as a tool for literacy is more recent.

Symbols used for signage and on communication boards often represent a complete idea. Symbols used to support literacy are different. Each symbol represents a single concept or idea:

symbol sentence

An illustration or photograph may contain too much information

photographs and illustrations

Each of these has a different purpose.
