Wonder about a picture
Show a busy picture and ask kids to come up with as many "who, what, where, why" questions as they can. A partner tries to answer one. Pictures give every child something to talk about, even the shy ones.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
