Ready to Read Skill: Vocabulary (Words)
Vocabulary means knowing the names of things. Knowing many words will help your child recognize written words and understand what he or she reads. Some great ways to work on this skill include talking to your child about what is going on around you, speaking clearly and using short sentences, and pointing out pictures in books when you say certain words. Some great examples of dinosaur books that help build vocabulary are Snappy Little Dinosaurs, Bones Bones Dinosaur Bones, and How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight. Another great dinosaur book that introduces new words is Thesaurus Rex by Laya Steinberg. It introduces words and their synonyms and includes great illustrations that clearly depict the words. This book is great for toddlers or preschoolers. Enjoy!
