State and Model the Objective
Tell the children that they will ask and answer questions in quiet voices as they listen for words that begin with the /kw/ sound, such as quilt, queen, quick, quiet, and quarter. 

Literacy Activities
Quickly ask questions with a quiet voice 

• Give each child a question page, a clipboard, and a pencil, and review the questions, pointing out the /kw/ sound words (e.g., quilt, queen). 
• Show the children how to ask a question quietly and how to record results by circling yes or no on their question page. 
• Have one adult lead a group of 4–5 children.
• Each group will move around the school looking for people to question (e.g., office secretary, lunch ladies, librarian, janitor).
• When you find someone to ask questions, have each child quietly ask a question (with support as needed) and record the results on his or her question page.
• Go back to the room and quietly discuss the results of the questions.

More Practice 
Identify words that start with the target letter 

• Discuss the results from the questions with the children (e.g., “How many people had a quilt?”).
• Assist the children in identifying which words in the survey questions begin with the /kw/ sound.
