Four smart ways to help build your children's vocabulary
“Johnny next door can name his colors, but Gloria can hardly even say her own name. What am I doing wrong?”But the good news is that children really are born to absorb the language around them. The following are some ways to help build your child's vocabulary.
Never use baby talk
Young children understand so much more than they can initially repeat.Of course you are not going to start speaking to a baby in difficult English, but it's important to speak to them the way that you'd speak to anybody else. Even if your child can't or doesn't use the same vocabulary when he talks, it is helping his language development.
Follow your child's lead
Trying to turn her attention away from the clown (小丑) so that you can point out the word for “elephant”, is not only frustrating, but also it's probably not doing much good. Instead of driving the conversation, you'll be more successful in making words “stick”, if you look at what your child is paying attention to.
Encourage any kind of reading.
Even young kids who haven't yet learned to read will memorize books that they've often heard. So go ahead and have your child “fill in” words as you're reading together.For older children who are already readers, it's important to let them choose their own reading material.
At two years of age, some kids may only use about 30 words while others may be able to use 300 words. But there's very little evidence that those children with 30 words at age two will have worse outcomes by the time they are five or six years of age.
A. So don't talk down to them.
B. Correct pronunciation gently.
C. Don't panic if your child is slow to talk.
D. It will help with their vocabulary development.
E. That sort of comparison can lead to a lot of parental anxiety.
F. Let's say you're taking a trip to the circus with your young daughter.
G. The best thing that parents can do is really just talk to their children all the time.
