  2. Facts about vocabulary • Young children can learn a new word after hearing it just once! • By the age of kindergarten, a child can potentially have learned between 2,500- 5,00 words! • The average school aged child can learn 3,000 words each year…that’s approximately 8 words a day! • Research has shown that one of the major differences between struggling and successful readers is vocabulary size. • To be a successful reader, a child must make the connection between the printed and spoken words • Once a child becomes a successful reader, text becomes the primary sources of vocabulary development. • Important to address the gap early so that it can be reversed. • Develop vocabulary through natural language.. Hearing and using new words in conversation. Every time you can, introduce your children to new vocabulary, provide names for concrete things. • Best way to develop a rich vocabulary is to read a lot!! • As a child’s reading skills increase their vocabulary increases. With a larger vocabulary, reading is now easier for the child –so they read more- and their vocabulary continues to enhance.
