According to the Unites State sector of Education, the size of your little one's vocabulary is an analyst of future skill to read and, finally, how well he will do in school. This does not mean that you have to register your 2 -year-old in a costly private nursery or appoint vocabulary teacher for him. By engaging in a little more important communication throughout their daily activities, you are expanding his vocabulary and prepare for success during the early years.

Stage 1 

Read to your child teaches him the basic sounds that make up words. Your baby learns words from the books she read aloud to him. Do not limit your reading selections to storybooks, but includes magazines, books and documentary stamp found in everyday life, including cereal boxes, signs and packaging toy. Doing so will introduce a variety of new words.

Stage 2 

Speak with your child. Children who speak more frequent during the early years of childhood have larger vocabularies than their peers who do not hear as many words during those early moments. Include your child in a conversation with the question open-ended questions and confident her to participate in the discussions when possible. Describe objects to use bright images when you drive down the road, go for a walk or push a cart around the store.

Stage 3

 Learn word awareness. You want your child to be alert of the fact that he met an unknown word - whether it's silly nonsense word from a book by Dr. Seuss or fancy medical term that he heard his pediatrician use - so he will want to learn meaning of the new word. Scholastic.com offers to play with words, using songs, games and humor to draw attention to your child's interest in new words. Praise your child whenever he takes notice of a new word or asks you to define an unknown word for it.
