Your child demonstrates their vocabulary knowledge with the words they use when speaking and writing. By expanding your child's vocabulary, you enable them to express their ideas more clearly. They will also improve their understanding of stories, informational texts, and conversations with friends and family. This year, your child will practice applying new vocabulary to their writing and speaking.
This page (PBS Kids) has many shows you can watch with your child or allow them to watch independently that will improve their vocabulary knowledge. Shows are a great way to expand one's spoken vocabulary because your child will hear the appropriate pronunciation and see visual demonstrations of new words, which will help the words adhere to their long-term memory.Â
This page (Reading Universe) will provide you with specific vocabulary activities to practice with your child at home. Use the filters to find the lesson that best suits your child's vocabulary development.
