When it comes to your preschool child’s literacy and communication skills, vocabulary development is a crucial factor in allowing your child to learn and communicate successfully. Many aspects of a preschooler’s life play a significant role in this development, including parents, siblings, and your child’s everyday interactions with other people.
The best expansion of these vocabulary skills can occur at home, school, and in other daily activities that your child participates in. All children benefit from being exposed to words repetitively, hearing a variety of different words (adjectives, woo!), and as they get older, from conversations and explanations. Not sure exactly how to fit this into your preschooler’s regimen? Here are a few tips to get you started.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Don’t go crazy with the introduction of new words or feel that constant talking is necessary for your child to develop in this area. Patience is crucial when it comes to allowing your child to create and express their own thoughts.
Actions can speak louder than words.
Simple and plain words can be more easily understood when paired with descriptors or imagery. These include facial expressions, gestures, or even changes of tone. Introducing the term “exhausted”? Try yawning super big every time you explain it to your child. Or, you can smile really big when introducing the word “happiness.”
In conclusion, every preschooler is obviously unique to themselves and maintains their own personal learning abilities. So when it comes to developing your child’s vocabulary, steady consistency and clear communication are the most important factors to keep in mind. Your preschooler will be telling you vivid stories in no time!
