More words, more to say
Kindergarteners are word sponges! They learn names for everyday things: colors, numbers, weather, clothes, vehicles and school subjects. They also learn how words relate. They sort words into categories (apple, banana, grape are all fruits), find words that go together (sock and shoe) and learn opposites like open and close. Every new word helps them understand stories and say exactly what they mean. The click moment is a child using a brand-new word all by themselves: "It's drizzling outside!"
Kindergarten vocabulary grows through talk, pictures and play. These are the moves we rely on.
Give kids a pile of picture cards and three hoops labeled food, animals and toys. They sort and say each word aloud. Then ask, "Can you think of one more for each group?" Sorting builds word knowledge and thinking skills together.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.

Children this age typically understand thousands of words and learn new ones every day. The focus is on growing vocabulary through talk, books and play, not a set number.
Use pictures, real objects and lots of conversation. Introduce a few new words at a time, use them often, and encourage kids to use them in sentences.
Everyday words like colors, numbers, shapes, weather, clothing, food and transportation, plus words for feelings and actions. Category and opposite words are important too.
Read together every day, talk about what you're doing, and name things during errands. When your child asks what a word means, use it again later.
