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. This week, we learned the names of male, female, and baby chickens, which may seem like a small lesson, but every little word helps get your child ready to read!
