Vocabulary growth is one of the biggest predictors of language growth and academic success.
That’s why in this episode, I talk about what speech pathologists, parents, and teachers can do to help kids build strong vocabulary skills across elementary school through high school.
Specifically, I share:
✅Why it’s hard to pinpoint what language and vocabulary skills are “age-appropriate” between Kindergarten and 12th grade.
✅What types of words we should be emphasizing to help kids learn words more efficiently.
✅Some practical ways to improve kids’ vocabulary in the home environment.
