2. Use WH questions as an assessment

WH-questions, or questions that begin with who, what, when, where, why, and how are an effective way to check for understanding. They can also be used as a form of assessment. This type of questioning allows special education students to process information and demonstrate their understanding in a different way. Additionally, it provides teachers with valuable data about student comprehension.

So next time you're looking for a way to assess your special education students' reading comprehension skills, try using some WH-questions! You might just be surprised at the results.

Use digital versions of WH questions:

I'm sure you've used WH-questions before in your classroom. But did you know that they can be especially beneficial for special education students when using digital versions? 

These questions force special education students to process information in a different way. This type of questioning allows them to demonstrate their understanding in a different way than other types of questions. Additionally, it provides teachers with valuable data about student comprehension, so why not use them digitally?  I use WH question Boom cards all the time with my students.   I plan on eventually turning all of my worksheets into boom cards, but for now, I have these!
