Children need plenty of exposure to vocabulary. This comes through reading experience. Teachers and parents should encourage children to read a variety of book types. When they have repeated experiences with vocabulary words, children begin to make better sense of print. They learn strategies such as using context clues that help them discover the meanings of words. Teachers typically incorporate themes that focus on a select group of vocabulary words. For example, they might teach words related to a farm or a zoo. A child’s vocabulary also increases when he learns to add suffixes to words. If he can read the word “walk,” he can add the ending and read “walked.
