In this product preview, Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com introduces the WH Question Mini Pack Seasonal Series, a set of six holiday‑themed units (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter) that extend her bestselling WH Mega Pack. Each unit follows a consistent format: visual‑response WH worksheets with multiple choice options, written WH worksheets for higher‑level practice, a mini‑book activity that can be stapled and colored, and WH question picture flashcards accompanied by directions and a data sheet. Sasha explains how the visual worksheets support learners who struggle to answer questions, how the flashcards are laminated and placed on rings for quick Direct Instruction use, and how the mini‑books provide a fun, hands‑on way to practice all WH questions. She highlights the flexibility of the materials for differentiated instruction, the ability to target specific WH questions (who, what, where, when, why) based on student needs, and the convenience of organizing the units in seasonal bins for year‑long planning. The preview emphasizes the products’ appeal to students, especially those on the autism spectrum, and how they simplify holiday‑related language instruction for teachers.

Hi, this is Sasha from TheAutismHelper.com, and this is a product review of my WH Mini Pack Seasonal Series. So this is based on my WH Mega Pack, which is my bestseller. If you have it, you will love these ones. So there's 6 different units included, each based on the 6 different holidays of the school year. So once you get this, a lot of your planning is really done because you're going to have different WH question resources to use for the entire year. So I'm going to go through the format of each one stays the same, and then obviously the content changes. So first up is our Halloween one. Each one starts with different visual response WH question worksheets. I love these. For some of my kids that really struggle to answer questions, having these visual choices is so, so key. So there's one for each of the WH questions and 3 to 2 different— 2 or 3 different response options. So these are really great, and the Halloween theme is just so fun. Then there are different WH question written worksheets for your learners that can kind of take it to the next level. So this packet's really well differentiated. For a lot of types of learners. Next is the mini book. This is a fun activity to put together and again practice those WH questions. You can staple this and color it, so it's a nice little way to work on all types of WH questions and answering them in a fun way. Next are the WH question picture flashcards. There's directions on how to run this as well as a data sheet. These are some of my favorite activities to have. I always have these by my Direct Instruction station because whenever there's a few minutes, this is what I pull out, because really all of my kids in some way need to work on this skill. So I laminate these front to back so the questions are on the back and put them on a ring. So now I have one ring for each holiday, which is really, really great. Um, and there's different WH questions: who, what, where, when, why. Um, so depending on your student, you can utilize the questions that are appropriate for that child. So that was the Halloween one. The Thanksgiving one and the other series follow the same order, so I'm just gonna give you a quick quick rundown to peek. The Thanksgiving pictures are so cute. So follows the same structure, the WH mini book and the picture flashcards. Next is our Christmas, and Christmas follows the same order too, mini book and flashcards. Valentine's Day. So these picture flashcards are really great to work on inferences as well, because some of those when and why questions, students will really have to think about it and infer the answer, which is great for your higher-level students as well. Um, here's St. Patrick's Day. And last up, Easter. So I actually went ahead and set this, all of these up in the start of the year and put them in my seasonal bins and then at each holiday they were ready to go and I can't tell you, it made my life so So, so much easier to have these different resources, and my kids got really excited when I pulled them out as well. So again, this was a product preview of my WH Question Mini Pack by TheAutismHelper.com.
