Vocabulary from A to Z

Developing your child’s vocabulary is one of the easiest ways to ensure your preschooler becomes a successful reader and writer. Come and create a personalized scrapbook of words.

This will be a make-it-yourself-then-take-home-and-use-it-right-away workshop. We will provide all the materials needed for the book!

We will discuss the importance of:

• vocabulary development as outlined in the California State Board of Education Content Standards

• engaging your child’s vocabulary development through pictures, textures, smells and other sensorial activities

• your child’s ability to make distinctions between the five senses, colors, and moods/feelings

• connecting higher level vocabulary words to words they already know and use

• making language an important part of daily life for your preschooler

We will also provide you with an assortment of strategies and recommended resources to develop higher level vocabulary.
