WH-Question Visual Answer Cue Cards Editable

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 23 pages, 277 type-in fields

• 5 WH-question cue cards (Who, What, Where, When, Why), each with its own concrete anchor picture
• A WH-Question Reference Chart: all five words taught together on one poster, with a one-line "asks for a ___" caption under each
• An Answer Board: a CUE CARD slot for the question word in play, plus three ANSWER CHOICES slots sized for the blank answer cards, and a quick-rounds table to log answers before the full data page
• Two desk-size copies of the answer board on one sheet, for a folder, a small group, or a second desk
• Every reference chart and cue card printed twice — a full-color set and a black-and-white ink-saver set
• A detail table naming, in separate columns, what each card's picture shows and what its question word asks for
• 12 blank answer cards with a type-in word line, to build real answer choices for any picture, story or activity — including WHY, where a ready-made picture bank would not work
• A how-to page: before the first session, the three moves every round, how many rounds to run, when a choice needs support, writing down what changes
• A WH-Question Practice Log (18 rows: one row per session, one letter per question word — independently, with a prompt, or not answered)
• A weekly roll-up (8 weeks) with a percent-independent graph
• A filled example — an invented student, one session on the log and three weeks on the roll-up, every number re-counted from its own row
• A family page with a small take-home cue-card set and a week of home practice tracking
• A hand-off page so a paraprofessional or a general education teacher runs the same cue cards and board the same way
• A phrase bank: 22 lines in 6 groups (spoken words for each round, written starters for the log, the roll-up and the note home)
• A storage and binder label sheet: 11 labels and a spine strip
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

Most WH-question decks on this shelf are a stack of static task cards with no board and no data behind them. This one matches the five question-word cue cards to an answer board — a cue-card slot plus real answer choices you build for the picture, story or activity in front of the student — with a practice log and a weekly roll-up behind it, so a round of questions turns into a line on a page a case manager can bring to a meeting.

The Five Question Words And Their Anchor Pictures

• Who — a person, standing for a question about a person
• What — a wrapped box, standing for a question about a thing or an action
• Where — a location pin, standing for a question about a place
• When — a clock face, standing for a question about a time
• Why — a question mark, standing for a question about a reason

Who, what, where, when and why are abstract words with no picture that IS the word; each card instead carries a plain, concrete anchor picture, and the printed word underneath is what carries the meaning. Every picture was rendered and read at print size in color AND in the black-and-white set before it went on a card, side by side with the other four, to confirm none of the five is confused with another. Cards are 2 inches square.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the answer board, the practice log, the roll-up, the family page, the hand-off page and the blank answer cards, or print and use a pen. The chart and card pages print on cardstock or plain paper; the cards cut along dashed lines. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document.

It is a way to cue five question words in pictures, offer answer choices on a board, and keep a record of what was answered, how. It is not a language assessment, an eligibility tool, or a therapy protocol, and it names no clinical finding. It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule, and it promises no outcome. The specific questions asked, about which picture, story or activity, are your own plan — this file supplies the cue cards, the answer board, and a place to record which question types were answered independently, nothing about what to ask or how to prompt it. The goal line and the criterion field on the roll-up are blanks for your district's own wording and your team's own number.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists, special education teachers and paraprofessionals working on WH-question comprehension, case managers who need that practice to show up as data, and the families who get the home page sent home.
