Vocabulary plays an important part in learning to read. Beginning readers must use the words they hear orally to make sense of the words they see in print. … Vocabulary is key to reading comprehension. Readers cannot understand what they are reading without knowing what most of the words mean.
We were able to have some great conversations about there are times you FEEL relief and there are times when you are in a predicament you are hoping for some RELIEF!!
It is so FUN to talk about the meaning of WORDS!! As you find opportunities at home to introduce, define and discuss NEW WORDS remind your child to USE THE WORD in a sentence, or better yet have them illustrate the word and write it!! This will definitely come in handy when they come upon it while reading someday!! And besides all of that … how adorable are these illustrations?!
