How to run it
Group by question word rather than mixing. Four quién questions in a row establish what the word is asking for, and mixing them from the start means a child who does not know one question word will fail on all three. Ask for a phrase rather than a single word — mi maestra es la señora López rather than López — since utterance length is usually a goal alongside the comprehension.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.
- IndependentPresent the item and wait 5 seconds of quiet before helping.Log as correct
- HintReread the key sentence, or point back to the clue in the text or picture.Log as cued
- Two choicesOffer two answers, the right one not always second.Log as cued
- ModelThink aloud: say how you worked it out, then the student says the answer and why.Log as cued
Adjust it
Read it aloud to the student and offer two choices from the start.
Ask the student to say which words gave them the clue, not just the answer.
Matching IEP goal
Given short texts or spoken prompts, Student will answer wh- questions in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than an indirect cue.

Twelve concrete Spanish questions: ¿Quién es tu maestra? ¿Quién vive contigo? ¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué comes en el recreo? ¿Qué hace el perro? ¿Dónde está el lápiz? ¿Dónde vives? ¿Dónde se guardan los libros? These three question words ask for a person, a thing or a place, all of which can be pointed at — which is what makes them the entry set.
What to listen for
Listen for the answer matching the question word. A child who answers a dónde question with a person has not distinguished the question words, which is the specific difficulty this board addresses and is different from not knowing the answer. Watch ¿qué hace el perro?, which asks for an action rather than a thing and is the hardest qué question here.
Carrying it home
Wh-questions are constant in family talk. Asking one at a time, waiting, and accepting the answer before asking another gives a child the chance to sort the question words out.
