Spring Break is a great time to boost your child’s vocabulary. As you plan your child’s spring break, keep in mind opportunities for varied experiences. If you are traveling, do some research before you go. Talk about the geography and climate of where you are going. How is it different from where you live? Will there be different foods that your child might look forward to experiencing? Don’t underestimate small, local museums or exhibits in tourist destinations. Odd collections can be very interesting to children. Talking about these experiences with your child can expand your child’s background knowledge and vocabulary.
If you are staying at home, consider having “Parent Camp.” Pretend that you are tourists visiting your hometown. What would a tourist do? Plan excursions to local museums, exhibits and attractions. Keep a family journal for the week. Composing the journal each evening will build vocabulary and composition skills. The journal will also secure your memories of the time shared together.
Use your spring break time as an investment in your child’s vocabulary and in your family’s treasure trove of memories.
