This is where storybooks are a great resources for words that may be rarely used in your day-to-day language with your child. When you come across a word that you think (or know) your child hasn’t heard before or might not understand, instead of trying to think of a synonym, go ahead and read the word as it is. These infrequently used words will only help to strengthen your child’s vocabulary!

The meaning of the word emerges from how it’s used in sentences.
Once a child understands a word they are able to detect the differences in its meaning the more they hear that word used in diverse contexts.

We know! Reading the same book over and over gets tedious. But reading books over and over can practice a child's memory and imagination.
You might ask your child things like, "Do you remember what happens next?" or "What does she say here?"

When playtime is guided by scenarios that are meaningful to the child, for instance, by having a tea party, children will retain the words and phrases used during playtime faster than if they were told how to set the table; shown how to bake the cake and directed on how to serve the tea.

Simply hearing words isn't enough. Language learning is heightened when children receive a response (facial gesture, laugh, a question, etc.) from those around them. Children who are spoken to (rather than overhearing conversations or watching programs) have larger vocabularies.
