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 words like autumn, acorn, ant, root, and stalk. Maisy's Book of Things That Go is full of new vocabulary (pedals, pistons, anchor- to name a few), and it is super fun because it has pop-ups and movable parts! This book is great for toddlers and preschoolers, and it also covers two Ready to Read skills- Print Motivation (Loving Books) and Vocabulary (Words).
