"Vocabulary knowledge is knowledge; the knowledge of a word not only implies a definition, but also implies how that word fits into the world." --Steven A. Stahl, Teaching Word Meanings (2005)
Help your child explore words in multiple contexts so that she can build a deeper understanding of word meanings.

Read What Shapes Our World? with your child and find the shapes hidden all around you. Help him identify and trace each shape he sees in the story with his finger.
