Interesting Ways To Expand Kids Vocabulary

Learning new words help the kids to foster their communication and reading ability. So introduce new words to your kids in different ways to help them learn new words and build an impressive vocabulary. Let's learn about some interesting ways to help your child build a strong vocabulary.


Conversation
Improving kids vocabulary may be a bit challenging. You may think that you should only use the simple words during the conversation with your child. Try using new and big word while talking to them. And if your kid is not replying that means he/she hasn't understood what are you are trying to say. So encourage your kids to ask for clarification, when they are unable to understand. Teach them the meaning of a word.

Reading
Kids enjoy listening to fairy tales and short stories. Narrate some fun-filled and interesting short stories to kids such as The Ugly Duckling, Cinderella, Snow White etc. Once they have developed an interest of listening to stories, encourage your kid to read a story by him/herself. As they will read, they will be introduced to new words. So sit beside them and teach them the meaning of big words, which are new to them.

Singing Nursery Rhymes
Singing nursery rhymes to kids can also help in building a strong vocabulary. Enjoy singing the rhyme and try to act it out. It will not only entertain the kids and but they will also understand the meaning of each word. By acting out a word, kid will better understand it!

Once you the kids are introduced to new words, you should repeat the words in conversation and also teach them the meaning until they have not fully grasped the concept. Don't forget to applaud your kid because they feel happy when being applauded and this makes them feel as if they have achieved something.
