Dear Parents:
Development of a large vocabulary is an
important part of your child’s growth in
reading. Children learn new words by having
opportunities to use them many times in talking,
reading, and writing. Providing your child with
many exposures to words helps him or her gain an
appreciation for how words are used in our
language and builds a solid foundation for later
reading success. It’s not necessary for
children to memorize long lists of words, but it
is important for them to use words in many
different situations. Here are some examples:
1.
Each family member can attempt to use
and/or learn a new word each day. All the
family members will benefit.
2.
As you talk to your child, use new words
frequently. Put them in simple sentences that
he or she can understand. For example, “That
was an enormous elephant. Look how bit it is!”
3.
Remember that children need many
repetitions of words before these words become a
natural part of their vocabularies. Try to
share new words with your child in a variety of
situations.
4.
Read lots of books to your child. The
more opportunities children have to hear words
in action, the more inclined they will be to add
those words to their own vocabularies.
Sincerely,
Melanie

Quote of the Month |
|
“To believe in a
child is to believe in the future. Through their
aspirations they will save the world. With their
combined knowledge the turbulent seas of hate
and injustice will be calmed. They will champion
the causes of life's underdogs, forging a
society without class discrimination. They will
supply humanity with music and beauty as it has
never known. They will endure. Towards these
ends I pledge my life's work. I will supply the
children with tools and knowledge to overcome
the obstacles. I will pass on the wisdom of my
years and temper it with patience. I shall
impact in each child the desire to fulfill his
or her dream. I shall teach.”
