We all ask children questions whether they be your own or in my case, a child I work with. My goal is to increase language as much as possible and the best way to do that is to ask WH- questions, such as
who,
what,
when,
where, and
why. "What is that?" can generate much more language than, "Is that a flower"? One of my earliest moments of clarity during my education was learning how to stop asking
yes/no questions and to start asking WH- questions. Super Duper Publications has a handout that is an excellent resource to learn more about asking WH- questions, see the link below. Whether you are in the car, at the store, or playing outside asking questions that start with
who,
what,
when,
where, and
why will help to create many more opportunities for language than
yes or
no.
