Teaching when questions
When is abstract: you cannot point to a time. Pictures help because they carry cues a child can point to: the moon, a sunset, snow, a breakfast table, a birthday cake. Ask the child what in the picture tells them the time.
Level 3 when questions are about sequence (before, after, next), which links to routines. A follow-up at home ("When do we brush our teeth?") turns the practice into carryover.
When has fewer questions than the other words because most pictures do not show a time cue. We wrote when questions only where the picture supports one.
How the three levels work
Every question word has three levels, following the usual clinical progression from literal to inferential questions. Level 1 is literal and obvious, with two choices: point to a big thing in the picture. Level 2 is literal but needs looking: a smaller detail, a spatial word, telling two people apart, with three choices. Level 3 is inferential, with three choices: use clues in the picture plus what you know about the world.
Every question was checked against its picture: the right answer is plainly true in the image and every wrong answer plainly false. A session is 10 questions of one type and level, at most two from the same picture.
