As you and your child establish a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.scholastic.ca\/scholasticblog\/2024\/04\/08\/5-tips-to-get-your-child-into-a-reading-routine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read-aloud routine<\/a>, your gestures, pauses, and questions encourage your child to put those phonemes into words, and ultimately, they recognize those words as language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading is the best way for your child to grow their vocabulary because books are troves of knowledge with unique language that describes the world around us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBooks contain words that might not be encountered in everyday conversation,\u201d explains Elfrieda Hiebert, PhD, a vocabulary acquisition expert and creator of Scholastic W.O.R.D., a digital vocabulary acquisition and comprehension program. \u201cIn books, kids get labels for the world around them. For example, the child may know the word \u2018car\u2019 from real-life experience, but in a book they discover \u2018vehicle\u2019 as an alternative way to describe things that move with engines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Books also introduce children to a spectrum of ideas and allow them to give their full attention to the idea being presented.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUntil you get a plethora of these concepts out in the real world, books are the place that invite you to see things you might not get to see otherwise, like the ocean,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.scholastic.ca\/scholasticblog\/2024\/10\/21\/how-to-choose-the-right-read-alouds-for-your-child\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">choosing the right read-aloud book<\/a> for your child, there are many ways you can make the most out of your reading time together. Follow these vocabulary-building techniques from Dr. Hiebert to get started.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Choose books with rhymes and easy-to-understand words.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research points to various milestones for language development. While a child will possess an \u201cexpressive\u201d vocabulary of a few words by age 1 (those are words they use, versus \u201creceptive\u201d vocabulary, which are words they understand passively), experts say that by age 4, your child will know about 1,500 words. By age 6, that number doubles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But instead of focusing on those vocab milestones, Dr. Hiebert suggests paying attention to the richness and quality of the books you read aloud with your child. What you want are books where the language is fun to read, she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, books with rhymes are a playful way to learn words and understand their context in the story.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChildren express a sense of humour early on,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says. \u201cSeeing that you can have silliness in books is important, too.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But be careful to avoid books with too little context. Too many unknown words or contrived language \u2014 words that rhyme for the sake of it but offer no contextual clues \u2014 will make comprehension difficult for your young reader who\u2019s still learning to understand the meaning behind words.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s impossible to decode something if you don\u2019t know what the word is,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says. \u201cIt becomes a nonsense exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Read enthusiastically aloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading aloud to your child sets a <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.scholastic.ca\/scholasticblog\/2022\/12\/07\/3-ways-to-encourage-your-child-to-read\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strong foundation for loving books<\/a> and understanding their importance. Plus, dedicating time exclusively to reading gives your child a special place to focus on the content.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe thing about reading aloud is that it\u2019s a place and time where you actually have the child\u2019s attention, and so you can attend to the meaning of a particular word in a text. Reading aloud both invites kids into what the purpose of reading is and expands their vocabulary,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening to an adult read is also really enjoyable for children, just like listening to audiobooks might be soothing for you. So don\u2019t be afraid to take the stage and \u201cperform\u201d your child\u2019s book as you read.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a fan of giving kids the opportunity to hear the text they should be reading aloud,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says. \u201cBut I am a fan of great readers reading things aloud for you.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, reading a book enthusiastically aloud fosters a special bond between you and your child because discoveries are made together. If they see you\u2019re excited about what you\u2019re reading, they\u2019re going to share that same passion for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny time a parent is reading to a little kid, there\u2019s comprehension going on,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says. \u201cYou both can draw on the same things. You have your own club.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Highlight special words and share their meaning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another building block of expanding your child\u2019s vocabulary is understanding that words have multiple meanings \u2014 also known as polysemy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at an object in real life, it doesn\u2019t morph into something else. But words on a page can,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of these nuances in language, a large part of expanding your child\u2019s vocabulary through reading is showing kids where you\u2019re getting the message from.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou want to do some tracking of the print,\u201d Dr. Hiebert recommends. Seeing the word, sounding it out, and pointing to it when it reoccurs on the page are actions that go a long way toward your child\u2019s understanding of how words are used and what they mean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, children enjoy sounding words out! Dr. Hiebert notes that young kids are attracted to long words and suggests this is one reason they like dinosaur books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re reading to 3- to 5-year-olds, you might point to a word and say, \u2018That\u2019s a really interesting word isn\u2019t it?\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cHighlight particular words \u2014 you want your finger to hop to it several times to help create phonetic awareness.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your child grows, you\u2019ll track text to show \u201cthat we express particular ideas by compounding words or putting endings or prefixes on words,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Collect new words to look up later.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Books contain three rare words for every 100, Dr. Hiebert says, underscoring her point that many of the words found in books are not used in everyday conversation. So by reading more books, your child collects new words to add to their vocabulary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a character can \u201cgalumph,\u201d \u201cprance,\u201d or \u201cskip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd a lot of those words only appear once in a book,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s why collecting words can be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Hiebert recommends collecting words for beginner readers who are transitioning into more independent reading. Your child might keep a journal where they record interesting words or words they don\u2019t know (and what they mean).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cChildren are not getting a lot of guidance with how to attend to words with multiple syllables. That\u2019s a place where you can start to collect interesting words,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:3px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Encourage re-reading books.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading the same books might seem like your child isn\u2019t interested in learning new topics and ideas, but it\u2019s actually the opposite, Dr. Hiebert says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKids go through a phase where they read something over and over,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is an important stage of development where they\u2019re seeing the permanence of print. They see that language again and again and they memorize it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, your child gains their reading independence through an affinity for words, which leads to learning more words. Much like discovering nonfiction, the ability to comprehend new information is easier when you have a bigger background to draw on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRemember that what you know about a topic is the best predictor of how well you\u2019re going to comprehend something related to it,\u201d Dr. Hiebert says. \u201cThe richness of one\u2019s vocabulary is also going to influence how one accesses words as they read on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop books for building vocabulary at any age below to get started!
