WH questions are still super tricky for my son with hyperlexia and he usually responds automatically with "I don't know" while he processes the question. It's really just a coping mechanism for him to buy himself so more time before he answers the question. Often he knows the answer, it just takes him a bit longer than most kids to respond appropriately.
He also really struggles with inferences, metaphors, and idioms, which is a common issue with kids with autism and/or hyperlexia. So I created these free printable speech therapy inference cards to help him work on making inferences, while practicing his WH questions.
How to Use the Free Printable Speech Inference Cards
Simply download, print, cut, and laminate the inference cards in this pack.
When you have the cards laminated and ready to go, then work through each individual card with your child. Either ask them the questions on each card or have them read the questions out loud themselves. Most of the questions are WH questions, which are a weak area for kids with hyperlexia.
Please keep in mind that I am not a speech therapist. I made these cards simply to help my son practice WH questions and oral comprehension.
