Most of the words kids learn come from everyday life. They hear language in books, on TV, and when talking with people around them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can help your child grow their vocabulary and learn more about the world just by talking with them. These skills are important for learning how to read. A home full of conversation and language is one of the best ways to help your child become a strong reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>With Babies<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talk to your baby about what you\u2019re doing. This helps them connect words to actions or objects.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As your baby starts to talk, ask questions like \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d when pointing to things. Then add more to their answer.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> For example:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <b>Child:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cBanana.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <b>You:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cYes! That\u2019s a banana. It\u2019s yellow.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>With Young Children<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Talk about what you see in your neighborhood, on car rides, or on TV. These chats help kids learn about the world.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While reading, stop and ask questions.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Try asking:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cWhy do you think he did that?\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cWhat do you think will happen next?\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use fun or new words when talking.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> For example:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cThis cookie is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">delicious<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">! That means it tastes really good.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Share stories from your life or tell them about the day they were born. This helps them feel connected to their family and culture.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>It doesn\u2019t matter what language you speak \u2014 talking with your child helps them become a better reader!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you ever wonder how kids learn new words?
