Who, Where, and What
Interactive Book

 Difficulty Hierarchy
If unsure of your students current skills with WH- questions, begin on level 1 and
proceed forwards.

Level One
Sorting: Use the icon cards and have your student sort them onto the who, where,
and what mat. Use the empty boxes on the left side of each strip to attach picture
icons, or WH-question icons to practice matching the symbol to the images used in
the book. For example, it is important for your students to learn that the picture of a
stick person with a question mark over the face represents who, and the word who
represents a person. Try to practice matching the symbol (WH- question symbol) to
various icons (the picture icons) to the WH- word mat (next page).

Level Two
Level two involves using the book. Turn through the book, prompting your student to
fill in each box with an appropriate icon from the icon storage page. To start easy,
only offer a few options, all in the same WH- question category. For example, on the
next page is a detective in a library with a dog. When the child needs to identify a
detective in the “who” space, provide 3 who icon cards. Gradually provide a bigger
array size (more options) and mix up the types of options (between who, what, and
where). Prompt the student to read the sentence strip aloud after all three boxes
have been filled to practice increasing utterance length and describing simple
pictures.

Level Three
Using the book again, turn to each page and ask the student to name the who,
what, or where for each picture. For example, turn to the first page and ask, “Who is
in this picture?” or “Where is this?”. At this level, the student should no longer be
relying on visual choices or icons.

Level Four
Add in “why” and “when” questions. A list of question ideas is included at the end of
the packet. Ask questions such as, “When do you go to the library?” or “Why do we
have libraries?”. Why and when icons are included at the end of the book as a
bridge if your students would benefit from introducing the task with symbols/icons.

Note: Each place, person, and thing are repeated three times, but each cycle begins
with the library. Therefore, if you are leaving the icons on the pages, be sure to take
them all off each time you see a library scene to begin again.
WHO means a person.

WHERE means a place.

WHAT means a thing.

In this book, you will practice describing
pictures.

For every picture, you will need to label….

who

where

what

Then, read the sentence aloud to

describe the picture.
