Expanding Toddler Vocabulary

Here are some tips to boost your toddlers vocabulary:

1. Read together.

2. Talk with versus at your child.

3. Sing songs.

4. Encourage them to use their “words” in lieu of frequent pointing/gesturing.

5. Model language for them.

6. Expand on their language, i.e., “ball” to “yes, that’s a small red ball.”

7. Explore new items and environments together.
