Knowing more words and their meaning PLUS background knowledge(the child’s prior knowledge from past experiences) increases reading comprehension.

Having more vocabulary knowledge makes it easier for the child to take on more challenging or new text. The more they see the word and know its meaning, the easier it is for them to recognize and understand the word and its context within a book or a piece of text.

How to increase vocabulary knowledge:

✨Label everyday items around the house. Write the name of the object on an index card, then tape it on the object.🏷

✨Create your own word wall. Teachers use this in their own classrooms. You can categorize by theme or alphabetically or as a weekly vocabulary word list. You can either write them on index cards and tape them to a wall you see regularly or hang a large whiteboard/use chalkboard paint on the wall, where you can write the words.👩‍🏫

✨Play word games like scrabble, word builder, charades, vocabulary bingo, or I Spy👀

Kid’s Book Recommendation Day!!!(unofficial)

Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreas and Guy Parker-Rees

For ages 3-8 years old.

This book has so many lessons that children need in life!

Gerald(the giraffe) believed that he was made and destined to be a giraffe that CAN’T dance. He was even mocked by other animals UNTIL an encouraging friend said otherwise! All he needed was an encouraging voice and a different beat/music to dance to, and in no time, he was the giraffe that CAN DANCE!

We’ve all had those naysayers in our life, and we shouldn’t pay much attention to what they say because
‘the only opinion that matters is YOURS.’
Compliments and praise are a bonus!

Have you found the ENCOURAGING voice in your life? 😊

Did you know that the English language has 26 letters but has 44 SOUNDS???

A phoneme is one unit of speech sound, i.e. /a/ So phonemic awareness means being aware of different speech sounds.

It is not enough that the child knows the sounds of each letter; they also need to learn how to SEGMENT(separate) and BLEND the sounds together in order to read new words and form new words.

How to promote PHONEMIC AWARENESS:

✨Show an object or a picture of something that your child already recognizes or that they can name, and then ask how many different letter sounds do they hear.

You can use objects/toys to represent each sound.

✨The next time you read a book out loud, stretch out the sound of a letter.

For example: instead of just saying ‘bus’, you can stretch out the /s/. So then you say ‘busssss’.

You may sound silly 🤭but it will help your budding reader to associate that sound whenever they see that letter.

✨Play a game where you segment the sounds of a word and the child has to figure out what the word is by blending the sounds.

For example, you can say, “Guess the word that has these sounds: /m/ /o/ /m/.”

Your main focus should be on the SOUND of the letters and less on the letters in the beginning.

P.S. My favorite class in college was SPA3000, made fun by the BEST professor and Speech-Language Pathologist, Professor Millie Suarez from , who actually helped me with my son when I noticed a little speech delay at 18months.
