[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for parents worried about building vocabularly: listen to NPR with them; discuss the news in a way they can understand; talk about current events like politics at the dinner table; explain concepts like democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, etc. I am reading the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to my dcps Title I school kindergartener, and she's hooked. She loves reading, even though she's only at the early reader stage -- getting better every day at reading on her own, but I keep reading books to her that are way above grade level. Great way to build the imagination and vocab![/quote] You are basing everything an above-average child. Lots of kids aren't ready for that in K. [/quote]
