WH Inferencing Cards set helps them reach the next stage of “WH” development – inferencing. "WH" Inference Question Cards set gives children clues and hints to answer "WH" questions.

Each of the five card decks Who?, What?, When?, Where?, and Why? contains 56 double-sided cards for lots of practice.

Side A has a colorful picture and a "WH" question ("Why is Karla waving?"). This picture provides clues the children must use to infer the correct answer. Side B has a second, related picture and the answer ("She is going on a trip.").
