If your students have a hard time understanding language, you’re probably familiar with that “deer-in-headlights” look you get when you ask the a “wh” question.
Either that, or you’ve gotten used to getting responses that have NOTHING to do with what you asked.
If you’re anything like me, you probably have sets of “wh” question flashcards that are falling part because you’re working on this skill so much in an attempt to boost language processing skills.
You’re also probably ready to pull your hair out you can’t stand to right the SAME GOAL on their therapy plan yet again…even though it hasn’t been mastered yet.
This leaves us back where we started…repeatedly practicing “wh” questions over and over again without seeing any progress.

If you have kids with weak language processing skills and you’ve tried everything you can think of to help them…but they’re still not getting better…check out my free e-book: The Ultimate Guide to Sentence Structure.
In this free 36-page guide, I’ll show you:
- The hidden culprit behind unexplained “processing” problems that’s often overlooked.
- The deceptively simple way to write language goals; so you’re not spending hours on paperwork (goal bank included).
- The 4 sentence types often behind comprehension and expression issues and why they’re so difficult.
- An easy-to-implement “low-prep” strategy proven to boost sentence structure, comprehension, and written language (conjunctions flashcards included).
