Increasing Expressive and Receptive Vocabulary

Post date: Jun 09, 2016 1:51:5 PM

Good morning!

Summer is the perfect time to introduce your children to new vocabulary terms. Expressive vocabulary skills (i.e. words they are able to use when communicating with others) typically emerge after a child has acquired and internalized these words receptively (i.e. is able to understand them when used by others). Please feel free to visit the following sites to learn how you can aid in your child's vocabulary development over the warm months to come!
