Literacy-Based Speech Language Therapy Activities

Question and Answer Stories

In “WH” question stories, the same or similar
questions are repeated throughout the story such as
in: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Question and answer stories are
great for therapy because:

 The repetition of the same question, and often
similar answers, helps increase students’
participation with increased opportunities to
practice a question or sentence structure.
 Question and answer stories provide great
exposure to early developing question types.
 They provide an opportunity to learn
conversational turn taking.
 For older students, non-fiction question and answer books provide an opportunity for
students to do their own experiments and investigations, and write about them.
 You can easily include the scaffolding strategies of binary choice or picture reference,
depending on the level of the child and the complexity of the book.
