"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.

Ben and his little sister Bailey have a lot of trouble playing together. Ben never wants to play the games Bailey wants to play, because they are too girly. Bailey never wants to play Ben's boyish games. They think they are too different to play together, but their mom has an important lesson to teach them. Ben and Bailey Learn to Play Together is a silly and fun story that will encourage your child to compromise with his playmates, even when they are different from him.
