Question Word Hop

Reading question sight words is fun with movement!

How can educators teach question words in a creative and engaging way? Our Question Word Hop is the answer! Learning how to read question words in English can be fun and active. Elementary school students can move around and play while mastering question sight words with this mat.

This floor mat lists 7 common question words: who, what, where, when, why, how, and which. These words are printed in large, kid-friendly type on colorful blocks to keep young readers engaged visually.

Furthermore, speaking and writing exercises are easy to add to your lesson plans while teaching interrogation words with this mat. Above all, kinesthetic activities – such as stepping and jumping – will boost students’ retention and comprehension of word identification lessons.

No more sitting at desks where frustration over books and word lists can fester. Many young readers find the “wh” question words especially confusing. The Question Word Hop mat opens up possibilities for tons of play-based activities to help your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th graders learn to read sight words. Watch your students’ word recognition and differentiation soar as a result of hopping on this mat!
