3

• Helping your child develop an extensive
  vocabulary will ensure they succeed academically
  and socially.

4

• Not only will a large vocabulary help them sail
  through standardized tests, but it also enables
  them to speak to their peers and authority
  figures with confidence.

5

• However, this is one skill that is best taught by
  surrounding your child with multiple types of
  support.

6

• As you plan ways to improve your childs
  vocabulary, use these strategies to give them the
  best chances for success.

7

• Encourage Them to Read Challenging Books

8

• From the moment you open that very first book
  with your child, you are exposing them to a world
  full of words.

9

• In the early years, many parents offer books that
  are simple to read so that their new reader does
  not become frustrated.

10

• Talk to your childs teacher and academic tutor
  about your childs current reading level.

11

• This way, they can guide you to a selection of
  books that will challenge your child without
  being overly frustrating.

12

• Use Rich Vocabulary Around Your Child

13

• As a parent, it is important to model desired
  behaviors, and using rich vocabulary around your
  child helps them learn how to use new words in
  their appropriate contexts.

14

• Avoid using baby talk or simplifying your
  language. Instead, speak carefully, and be
  willing to provide explanations for the meaning
  of new words when your child asks.

15

• Enroll in
• Academic Tutoring

16

• Individualized learning experiences are important
  for helping your child learn new words and how to
  use them correctly.

17

• Academic tutoring provides targeted instruction
  that is tailored to your childs abilities.

18

• Whether they play a word game with their teacher
  or practice speaking with a group of their peers

19

• each tutoring lesson will focus on implementing
  strategies that makes learning new vocabulary
  words fun and effective for your child.

21
Simply memorizing a list of vocabulary words will
not help your child remember them in casual
conversation.
22

• For this reason, social opportunities are
  critical while your child is strengthening their
  oral language skills.

23

• After school programs, such as tutoring and
  sports, are great ways to extend your childs
  language learning beyond the school day.

24

• It is also important to stretch their vocabulary
  through enrichment opportunities such as science
  clubs and fine arts lessons.

25

• Provide Supportive Feedback

26

• When a child makes attempts to use new words, it
  is important to acknowledge their successes while
  providing supportive correction for mistakes.

27

• Make it a point to notice when your child uses a
  word that is new to their vocabulary.

28

• If they use a word incorrectly, give them the
  correct word or help them see how to make it fit
  the sentence.

29

• This helps to reinforce their learning while also
  building their confidence to take a risk in
  casual conversations.

30

• Building your childs vocabulary is a process
  that begins early in their academic years.

31

• Yet, nurturing a love for learning new words pays
  off as your child begins searching for the
  meaning of new words they hear.

  word acquisition into your childs daily routine

  conversations and knowledge every time you talk
  about their day.
