Make learning words a daily habit
Set up your stand on the kitchen counter or dining table and flip a page to learn a new word every day. Talk about the words during mealtimes.
Point to the easy words
Easy words are sight words. Once children have got a mental snapshot, they are better equipped to identify a word later on in their reading.
Don't skip the easy words
They help learners unlock harder synonyms. For example, eat unlocks devour.
Talk about the illustrations
Nothing develops children's thinking and language more than meaningful conversations with adults.
Sound out the first letter of the word
Do this together. It helps children develop awareness of the alphabet and phonics.
