Familiar picture books A familiar picture book; If required, a symbol card to represent 'who' (for example a question mark next to a picture of a face).	Ask 'who' questions about familiar pictures in books. For example, ask 'Who is this?'; Model the answer if the child has difficulty answering, for example "This is Sam". You could also use a "who" symbol card when you ask questions - pointing to it when you use the word 'who'.	Teach these concepts using repeated phrases and matching them as much as possible with the relevant symbol. Allow thinking time. Reward any attempts.

You may need to give the child a language model before he/she can ask a 'who' question.

Use the "who" symbol card if necessary and ask easy questions using "who" for example 'Who is your teacher ' when the teacher is near or 'Who is sitting next to you?' etc.; You could get the child to draw the classroom/playground and the people in it as you do the questions.
