Developing vocabulary – 6<br />
Date:<br />
Dear Parents<br />
One of the best ways to develop your child’s vocabulary is to provide him/her<br />
with first-hand experiences. Through these experiences, children learn words,<br />
contexts for the words and appropriate ways to use the words in sentences.<br />
Having extensive background experiences and a rich vocabulary helps<br />
children develop their reading comprehension skills.<br />
Consider whether your child has seen the objects listed below. If your child<br />
has not been exposed to the following items, consider providing them with an<br />
opportunity to do so. It may not be possible for you to provide your child with<br />
experiences with each item listed below; however, make an effort to expose<br />
your child to as many as possible.<br />
