QuestionQuest
by Laureate Learning Systems
Helps students understand the meaning of different types of questions
Available now in Australia and New Zealand
This new three level series will help students with language disorders understand and
answer many common forms of questions.
These programs:
- Train Wh- and Yes/No questions
- Cover pairing and exhaustive pairing
- Teach the syntax and semantics of questions
Suggested for Individuals (Pre-K through Adult) with:
- Autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, language-learning disabilities, low vision, and hearing impairments.
- Also English language learners (Pre-K-6)
This all-new Sterling Edition series helps students understand the meaning of different types of questions: Who, What, Where, Why, How, With What, and Yes/No.
A Variety of Question Forms
Students who are learning to understand and respond to questions need to learn many syntactic subtleties. For example, they need to know whether a question refers to the subject or the object of a sentence (Who is painting? Who is the father painting?). They also need to discriminate between Yes/No and Wh-Questions.
In addition, students must understand the various semantic meanings of questions. For example, the question “How did the girl break the piñata?” most likely requires an instrument answer “…with a bat” while “How is the girl dancing?” requires a manner response “…on her toes.” Similarly, the question “Why is the girl sad?” requires a cause response “…because her balloon got away,” while the question “Why is the boy filling the washtub?” requires a purpose answer like “…to wash the dog.”
Students must also learn that when more than one person is involved in an activity, a question such as “Who is washing the car?” requires an exhaustive response where all of the participants are named. Similarly, when a scene is described as “Everyone is reading something and eating something,” the response to “Who is reading what and eating what?” requires pairing all of the actors with what they are reading and what they are eating.
Automatic Lesson Delivery
QuestionQuest begins with an assessment to determine where to start training. As the student works, the software continually monitors responses, adjusts the instructional support accordingly, and automatically guides the student through the curriculum. Extensive data collection and built-in reports document student performance and ensure accountability.
