Early Grades, Question Skills Level F & Level A Pilot
Early Grades WH- Cards
These cards support all Question Skills materials through oral questioning for early grades & students with additional needs. Early Grades cards present multiple examples of WH-words for students to learn these concepts. Oral Language underpins all learning including learning to reading and comprehend.
Early grades cards are available in 2 sets:
1. WH-Cards (Large): PreK to 2, for oral questioning, when young children are learning to decode and read. Some students struggle to answer oral questions. Visuals and oral modelling can support and scaffold students' learning how to answer questions.
2. WH_CARDS (Small): K - 4, also for oral questioning and as writing scaffolds for young students and also older students with additional needs. These cards include multiple examples that are easy to decode and prompt students with ideas for writing. For example Who, When and Where as an Orientation to start a narrative text.

Explicit instruction (Rosenshine's work & Engelmann's work) will underpin these materials.This includes both explicit teaching & instructional design to support successful student learning. These lessons will initially be in draft, with feedback from classroom teachers to refine and revise content.
