Sasha from The Autism Helper shows an adapted book that teaches the wh-question "who" through inference and context clues rather than picture matching. The book has 12 varied pages to prevent memorization and uses simple text for early readers and children with limited language.
Hi, this is Sasha from The Autism Helper, and this is a product preview of my Who Am I adapted book. I love having adapted books that focus on each wh- question in isolation. It really helps our learners understand the connection between that exact question and the type of answer that you're looking for. So when you're asking a who question, you're always looking for a person. When you're asking a where question, you're always looking for a location. So this book focuses solely on who questions. There's instructions for setup, There's a storage page for the extra pieces. You don't need to worry about having a baggie or missing the pieces or anything, 'cause this is set up in a way that you'll have a storage page with all the pages. So the book follows a familiar pattern. It's simple text, which is great for our early readers or our kids with limited receptive language skills if you're reading this to them. There's some type of context clue and then wh-question. So you're really focusing on inference skills, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, along with answering a who question. So there's not direct matching, there is a visual, but it's not going to be a direct match to the picture, which is nice, and a wide range of different who questions, enough so students aren't memorizing it, so, 'cause there's 12 different pages. And again, the storage page at the end to store all of the different pieces. So again, this was a product preview of Who Am I? Adapted Book for Answering Who Questions by theautismhelper.com.
