❓Who, what, when, where and Why...are considered the 5 basic questions that are asked to learn about a person, event, or text.
❔Asking and answering wh- questions are essential skills, as they lay the foundation to participate in conversations, to demonstrate knowledge, to collect information, to create, and to help make sense of their surroundings and themselves.
❓Children start being able to answer some of these questions from 1 years old! As a rough guide:
1-2 yrs: where and what
2-3 yrs: who,where and what
3 yrs: who, why, where
4 yrs: when
❔Difficulties with understanding and answering wh-questions can be supported in speech therapy.
✔️Here, I'm using wh-question cards from . The cards have answers in picture form which helps our learners think of the answer if they are struggling.
✔️I used these cards in digital form in my sessions to target WH questions but you can also print them off and use.
