Teaching Students to Answer WH-Questions
Teaching preschool and elementary students to answer WH-Questions helps improve receptive language skills. These skills lay the foundation for children to decipher that information correctly and effectively communicate with others, including following verbal directions at school and understanding language concepts.
Lesson Plan – Using Your Free Spring Activity
1. Teach the Different Types of WH-Questions
Start by teaching your students the different types of WH-Questions, including who, what, where, and when. Define each WH-Question with the use of visuals, if necessary.
2. Use Books to Reinforce WH-Questions
During read-aloud times in the classroom is a great time to incorporate asking WH-Questions to your preschool and elementary students. During and after reading the story, ask your class or small group different related WH-Questions. For example, “Where did the story take place?” or “Who was the main character in the story?”
