Document Summary

Create situations where child encounters world: build on previous knowledge. If the child knows a few body parts, teach them a few more. Build on existing knowledge: teach in meaningful contexts. Everyday routine events, teach words at bath time. Enact those routines in a clinic setting. Definitions of new words: provide multiple exposures. Book is beneficial; point the illustrations (visual match to the language and its meaning) Re act the story: discuss features, synonyms & antonyms. Teaching new vocab, not the word in isolation, you want to embed in a semantic way. Connections to other words/concepts; makes it easier for the child to retain the word and easier for it to retrieve. Help the child to organize its language. The meaning of the word varies depending on context. Actions: do, go, eat: can group them into categories, syllable structure is simple: 1-2 syllables, simple words/frequent words in a child"s environment.
