Finally, I try to always encourage interaction. Add a word to the discussion to give more vocabulary to your child.
Use C.A.R:
Comment
Add
Respond.
You child shows you a toy or makes a noise. You comment- I see you have a baby. Child holds baby up. Add a new word: The baby is happy. The goal is to have interaction five times. Add: Your happy baby wants to bounce. Keep it up as long as you have your child's attention. This building opportunity will usually go much longer than five:)
In addition, always READ a book. A good children's book will provide at least five vocabulary words that are not used on a daily basis with your child. Every new word or unused word becomes a part of their vocabulary. As your child learns to read, phonics and sounding out, they will know was is not w a s but wus because of the familiarity to it.
