Vocabulary PART 1

The FYI on VOCABULARY

It may seem common sense that the more times we are exposed to a word, the stronger our understanding becomes. However, repeated exposure to new vocabulary words is often ignored. Adults often forget a person (especially a child) needs to hear and use a word several times before it truly becomes a part of her/his vocabulary. Providing multiple opportunities to use a new word in its written and spoken form helps children solidify their understanding of it.
