*Expand on a young child’s phrases
and sentences by adding adjectives and
repeating them back to your child.
*Play word/naming games while driving in the car.
Name as many
object/places you
see.
*Visit the grocery store with your child.
Point out “groups” of foods, name foods, have your child retrieve 1-3
items from memory.
*To help your child learn “position” words, using
objects as simple as a chair, stuffed animal or coin. Play games with
them (hide and seek, etc.) stating “where” the toy is (i.e., “under the chair”,
“behind the bear”, etc.).
