Developing vocabulary – 7<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 />

has not experienced the following foods, consider providing them with the<br />
