 A fun way for a child to practice using words is by having a word of the day. Each day you can pick a word to focus on and you and the child can find different ways to use that word during the day. For example, today could be the first day of the week and you and the child can decide on a word like jump. Maybe you're outside. You can ask the child, can you jump over that rock? Or later, the child may say, I saw a cat jump onto a fence today. Or later, you could say, let's watch this frog jump. And you and the child can keep using the word jump for the rest of today. Then tomorrow you can pick a new word and another word on the day after that and so on. Each day you do this activity, you're helping a child learn about the different ways a word can be used in a sentence.
