The who/what/why sheet Sheet with 3 columns, one headed "who?", one headed "what?", one headed "why?" Brick cube 'Wh' word symbols You can make these resources using the Commtap Symboliser for PowerPoint.	Use the sheet as you retell stories or events or activities that you have recently done with the child. Fill in the columns so that you can 'read' across the sheet and retell the story. Each time ask the child a 'wh' question and give any help needed with the answer so that the child feels successful. Stick the 'wh' word symbols to the sides of a brick cube. Have a picture available to discuss and play games rolling the cube and answering the 'wh' question that is uppermost on the dice.
