Vocabulary is one of the important aspect in speaking. By knowing a lot of it, children can be very fluent in comunicating with their social life. One of the best ways to expand your child’s vocabulary is to read and talk to him. This is very true especially with special needs children. When you always talk to the child, you are helping him to expand his vocabulary and ignite his curiosity. Vocabulary and the need for knowledge and information are two crucial things in learning.
When a child wants to know about something and you can suggest him/her to get information through reading, it can raise his/her motivation to read. In the same manner, if the child reads more, he will have more chances of getting more words into his vocabulary bank.
The “learning readiness” factor is different from one child to another because we have the so-called individual differences. It applies to learning and reading readiness as well. So how can you help your special needs child get ready to read and develop his vocabulary?
How To Develop Vocabulary Through Reading
Reading allows children to encounter new words. There are actually more words used in written language compared to spoken language. Because of this, a child will learn more new words through reading. The more you read to a child, the more he will be able to develop his vocabulary.
It is important that a child develops his vocabulary. In the same manner, it is equally important that a child learns to read to further improve his vocabulary. Parents and teachers should help the child understand the importance of reading.
They should also introduce reading as an interesting aspect of learning. This can be done by using attractive, easy to understand and educational reading materials – one like POPS resources. And proper guidance and support should also be part and parcel of any reading and vocabulary activities.
