Those pesky wh- questions. They sneak their way into almost all of my academics. They rear their ugly head in my social skill groups. They even get in the way of functional skills. Dang. Really must mean they are important. One area that we target wh- questions on a daily basis is in my mid-level reading group’s daily journal.

What is the cat doing? I ask them out of order and mix it up everyday sot hey have practice discriminating the questions.
