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. Books we looked at this week that are great for building vocabulary include Old Mother Hubbard and Yip! Yap! Snap!. Both offer new words for concepts children are already familiar with; for example, Old Mother Hubbard uses the word jig instead of dance.
