Activities to support early question formation skills for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years.
Practitioners will be aware that, while many resources are available to help children understand questions, far fewer offer activities which develop sentence construction and provide opportunities for the child to practise asking questions in a meaningful way. This ‘Let’s ask questions’ resource offers activities for question formation, to support the modelling and repetition required for children to learn.
The fully illustrated pack is accompanied by clear instructions and ideas for extension activities.
For more information, see below.
Asking questions is a development milestone that sets the groundwork for language learning, vocabulary acquisition and complex social interaction. Children exhibiting delayed language development, or those who have developmental language disorder, frequently struggle with the vocabulary and syntactic demands of question formation. If children encounter a gap in their knowledge or an ambiguity they are unable to resolve, asking questions enables them to receive targeted information when they need it. This ability to gather information becomes an efficient mechanism for cognitive development.
To provide support for, and practise with, question formation, the ‘Let’s ask questions’ pack includes:
Age: Suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years (Reception- KS1) who have developmental language disorder or delayed language development.
Format: PDF file, 5 pages of instructions, 15 colour activity pages and 15 duplicate black and white pages.
