Descriptive Words
“When The Moon Hits The Sky Like A Big Pizza Pie…”
-
Use
descriptive words to expand on what your child says (e.g., if your child says
“ball,” you say “big ball”).
Model
descriptive words throughout your child’s daily routines (e.g., during diaper
changes, “dirty diaper”; during mealtime, “hot soup” or “I’m hungry”; during
bath time, “little toe, big toe, wet, water”; during playtime, “red blocks, big
blocks, square blocks”).
Look
through your child’s favorite books. Point to pictures and describe the
objects, actions, and people.
Find
a book of opposites (e.g., big shoe, little shoe, long hair, short hair, hot
fire, cold ice cream).
