Apple Orchard WH Question Scenes for Special Education | Fall Speech Therapy

Looking for a fun, fall-themed way to work on WH questions, receptive language, expressive language, and communication skills?

These Apple Orchard WH Question Scenes are a fun and engaging way to practice answering WH questions while exploring busy, colorful apple orchard scenes!

This resource includes 8 different apple orchard picture scenes, with each scene featuring familiar fall activities including apple picking, hayrides, farm stands, apple cider, farm animals, an apple maze, and more!

And because our students communicate in different ways, I’ve included 2 different question sets for every scene!

What’s Included?

  • 8 colorful Apple Orchard picture scenes
  • 10 non-verbal response WH questions for each scene
  • 10 verbal response WH questions for each scene
  • 160 WH questions altogether!
  • Built-in data collection/progress monitoring
  • Space to record student names
  • Space to record results across two different dates/sessions

That matches the finished resource structure, with each scene followed by separate non-verbal and verbal question sheets and progress tracking.

Non-Verbal / Pointing Questions

The non-verbal question pages are perfect for students who are not yet answering questions verbally or who benefit from an alternative response method.

Simply show the student the corresponding picture scene, ask the question, and have them point to the answer in the picture.

Questions target things like:

Who? • What? • Where?

This makes it easy to work on receptive language and WH question comprehension without requiring a spoken response.

Verbal Response Questions

Ready to work on expressive language too? Each scene also comes with a separate set of verbal-response WH questions. Students can look closely at the scene and verbally answer questions about what they can see, what people are doing, where things are happening, and why something may be happening.

These questions provide opportunities to work on:

  • WH questions
  • Receptive language
  • Expressive language
  • Speaking and listening
  • Visual comprehension
  • Vocabulary
  • Answering questions
  • Describing
  • Inferencing and reasoning
  • Fall and apple orchard vocabulary

Perfect For:

  • Special education
  • Speech therapy
  • Autism classrooms
  • Speech and language groups
  • Small groups
  • 1:1 instruction
  • Morning work
  • Centers
  • Progress monitoring
  • Fall activities
  • Apple units
  • Farm themes

I especially love these for students working at different communication levels because you can use the same scene with one student who responds by pointing and another student who is working on verbal responses.

Prep tip: Laminate the picture scenes and keep them together in a folder or binder. Then you can grab the scene you need and reuse it again and again!

Whether you’re planning an apple unit, fall speech therapy sessions, or seasonal special education activities, these Apple Orchard WH Question Scenes are an easy way to bring a little fall fun into your language work!
