So many new words to love!
Preschool is a word explosion. Children learn the names for everyday things around them, like colors, shapes, numbers, foods and animals. They start sorting words into groups: an apple and a banana are both fruits. They learn describing words like big, soft and bumpy, and position words like over, under and next to. Hearing stories and songs every day gives them new words they wouldn't hear in everyday talk. The click moment is when a child uses a new word all on their own, like "That dinosaur is enormous!"
Young children learn words by seeing, hearing and using them over and over. These moves make that easy and fun.
Show a picture card, say the word and have children repeat it. Then ask a quick question: "What color is the apple?" Pairing the picture with talk helps the word stick, and the question gets children using it right away.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withPreschool Vocabulary Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Play a letter song and pause after each word to point to its picture. Children love singing along, and songs bring in words they don't hear in everyday talk. Sing the same song all week so the words become old friends.
Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: in a well-known study, a few short sessions of a simple number board game measurably boosted young children's number skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Vocabulary grows quickly in the preschool years, and children learn new words almost every day. What matters most is that they keep learning words and start using them in sentences. If you have concerns, talk with your pediatrician or child's teacher.
Read together every day, talk about what you see, and use rich words like "enormous" instead of only "big." Ask questions that need more than a yes or no answer.
Start with words for everyday things: colors, shapes, numbers, body parts, foods, animals and family members. Then add describing words and position words like over and under.
Yes, when they are used for talking and playing, not drilling. Show a card, talk about the picture and connect it to something real in the child's world.
