Ask a classmate a question after they share
When to use this goal
For students who listen to classmates' shares but never respond, or who answer every share with their own story. Present levels in questioning and turn-taking decide fit. Questions can be spoken, signed, written on a card, or selected on a device.
- Baseline
- Across 4 sharing times, record whether the student asked the sharer a question, made a comment about themselves, or did not respond. Check that the student can form a question with a question word in a structured task first.
- Tips
- An opportunity is a share the student hears and is invited to respond to. Score correct when the question is about the shared item or story. A related comment instead of a question can be recorded separately. Make sure the sharing routine gives every child a chance to ask, not just the fastest hands.
- Limits
- Opportunities depend on the class routine; keep the number of invitations steady. The goal does not measure the quality of follow-up conversation. Students who process language slowly may need the share shown again or a short wait.

- Record up to 4 opportunities per session, matching the goal's denominator.
- Define in advance what counts as an opportunity so every data collector records the same thing.
- Count only + marks toward the criterion unless the goal specifies prompted responses.
