| Favourite book 'wh' words (who, what, when, where) on symbol cards You can make question symbol cards using the Commtap Symboliser for PowerPoint. | 1. Share an attractive book with the child. Point to the pictures talk about what is happening in the picture, what the characters are doing etc 2. Let the child become very familiar with the book 3. Ask questions about the story and pictures and use one of the 'wh' word symbols to help focus the child's attention e.g. 'who is eating?' and show the 'who' symbol, or 'where is Spot hiding' and show the 'where' symbol. Help the child with model answers if needed. E.g. 'Look Spot is hiding here...under the rug.' | Shared enjoyment of a book Use simple language Reward all attempts to retell a story Provide a model answer if the child is struggling. |
