This book is designed to help students learn a most perplexing syntactic phenomenon - formulating questions. Forming a question often involves reversing the order of some words of a sentence. For example: Here is John. Is John here?
Use ideas in the first part of the book with younger children. Lessons focus on reversing word order of sentences to form questions. The activities in the book provide plenty of practice using "question words."
You'll also find a review of syntax and morphonogy as related to forming questions - an excellent reference for teachers and speech-language pathologists.
Activities for older students and adults are also included. These activities target particular types of questions. You'll find hundreds of items challenging students to form and/or answer questions.
Also many of the activities in the book are excellent for those learning English as a second language.
