Did you know that the more words your child picks up early on, the easier it is for her to learn how to read later down the road?
A fun thing you can do at home is to put labels on things like "chair," "lamp," "Papa" etc. This will help remind you to narrate your daily routines in a way that also emphasizes the concept that text carries meaning. A picture/vocabulary book like First 100 Words will help you get started.
First 100 Words is a board book, but it is the size of a standard picture book which makes it more unusual. Toddlers will love turning the pages of this big, sturdy book. It is jam-packed with color photos ranging from familiar objects that you encounter together in your daily routines to an inventory of farm animals (which are harder to stick labels on...)
So, get inspired! Check out a copy of First 100 Words, get out some sticky labels and markers and go to town!
