Do you always need more wh question speech therapy activities? I love using books in my speech therapy sessions to target answering wh questions! Literacy-based sessions can be used to target any goal, are low-to-no prep, and are very engaging! Targeting wh questions can be done using any book. In this post, I’m sharing 8 of my favorite fall-themed books for targeting wh questions! The books are divided by type of question (who, what, when, where) but they all can be used for targeting mixed wh questions as well!
When doing literacy-based speech sessions, I love to pair books with my fall wh question visual bookmarks. You can grab the free fall-themed wh question visual bookmarks by entering your name, personal email, and clicking the pink button below!

The Leaf Thief by Alice Hemming is such a fun book for fall! In this story, Squirrel is looking for a missing leaf. There are a TON of opportunities for asking wh questions, especially “where” questions for speech therapy! For example, “Where do you think the leaf is?”, “Where is the Squirrel looking?”and more!
We’re Going on A Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger is another perfect book for “where” questions! Talk about where they are going, the places they pass, and if they’re going the right way.
