Asking and Answering WH Questions by BVG SLP

Teach students to ask and answer WH questions with this no-prep, no-print digital language lesson. It introduces the words used to ask questions and guides students in formulating complete questions. Answering practice progresses from one-word responses to phrases and complete, detailed sentences, helping make response length and detail visible to the learner.

Question words and skills

• Who, what, where, when, and why questions
• Formulating complete questions
• Answering with increasing detail
• Receptive and expressive language

Each question word is addressed individually with specific examples of the kinds of answers associated with it. Visual representations provide additional cues when appropriate. The unit includes more than 80 full-color slides and two game boards for continued reinforcement: one board has question words embedded, and the other is blank for open-ended play.

Use in therapy and instruction

Introduce the lesson during whole-group or small-group instruction, then use it on interactive whiteboards, computers, tablets, or speech teletherapy platforms. It can support students who are developing question formulation and who benefit from practicing how to add relevant detail to their answers.
