Increase Your Child's Vocabulary

The larger your child’s vocabulary, the easier schoolwork will be for him to understand and do.

One great way to build your child’s interest in words is to encourage him to read or skim the dictionary.

Give him a “First,” “Beginner’s” or “Children’s” dictionary with lots of pictures. Leaf through it together, looking for new and interesting words. Read the definitions. Talk about the pictures. Ask your child what he thinks a new word might mean.

Your child may just develop a lifetime love of words.
