QuestionIt

As a school SLP, I use this app a lot for working on understanding of ‘wh’ questions. It is the best app I know of to assess whether a student really understands the meaning of ‘wh’ questions. I do wish you could turn off or minimize the feedback a student gets after they make a response.

In my middle school classroom, the students enjoy using iPads for educational programs, earning as a reinforcer, and as a form of communication. One app in particular is fun, educational, and engaging for my students. The app is called Question It. The app is used to teach students to answer various “wh” questions with the aid of visual supports. The app has various levels of sorting that the student or teacher can choose from, ranging from one word to paragraphs. With the help of color cues that fade out as the student progresses through the app, this enables the student to learn by errorless teaching. The student has fireworks displays as reinforcement sporadically throughout the app when answering correctly. There is even a portion of the app that keeps data on the student’s progress on the number correct out of the total number of questions per activity level. This data can then be sent via email to the teacher. This month, the app was put on my students’ ipads and they all enjoyed engaging in the educational app! My students struggle with differentiating between the various “wh” questions, but with this app the students are eager to work on this difficult skill for them while learning in a fun and errorless manner. I hope to see in the future the skill of answering comprehension questions generalized to use outside of this app and I would highly recommend this app to other teachers and parents.

Question It? The app Question It? is basically based on grammar. It helps a student learn their who, what, when, and wheres. This is wonderful for a 3rd grader or lower. Thank you for reading my review!

This app is certainly one of the best ways that one can teach how to answer "wh" questions in a fun gaming format! The robotic voice makes it even more game-like. The sorting feature is easily done and helps explain the four "wh" question formats. Student tracking is easily done and results can be emailed to parents within the student tracking portion. The Fitzgerald key color-coding system work really well and correlates nicely to AAC app systems. This is a MUST-HAVE app for speech/language pathologists, special ed teachers and many parents! Enjoy at a discount this weekend!

QuestionIt Is a wonderful errorless learning system to support scaffolded learning in sorting and answering questions. The user can select the level of complexity and support they need in one of four categories, sorting, sentences, and then sentences, and paragraphs. The therapist or teacher can list current students and chart and track their progress. Excellent reinforcement allows this to be both the teaching and assessment tool. A must-have for working with kids to improve their receptive language skills.
