T.VA HERALD AND RURA Your Child Ani By Miss Luc The cultivation of vocabulary p should be an issue of importance \ to all persons whose lives touch i those of boys and girls. Parents can make an important contribution to vocabulary growth and enrichment. They need information concerning tue way language giuws and affects the child's adjustment S and behavior. According to au- o thorities, the first word is used C when the child is about twelve t months of age. He acquires a con- J siderable number of words each h month thereafter until he is able ti employ them easily. When he is F about 2 years old, he knows ap- e proximately 250 different words, 1 each having a definite meaning J with a specific relationship to his j basic needs and purposes. The importance of these acquisitions is revealed by the fact that after the child has acquired a few words he is able to make his needs known directly, and by use of questions he becomes capable of acquiring information in many areas. During the age interval from two to six, the child adds hundreds of words each year to his speaking vocabulary. The richness of this vocubulary will depend on the stories read and told to the child, his opportunities for knowing about the animals, people, woods, and places about him. In other words, the child's vocabularv inrpAoco anforHino irk MAMA J f? AAA AAA W A WUkJ^ WVVWA VtAftl^ VV the time the family will take for talking with him. If he is told to be quiet every time he asks a question there will be very little development of his vocabulary. He will also draw more and more to himself and develop into the type of student, later, who must be given special work with his i reading because of this suppression earlier. 1?How do children learn to jet new words for themselves? The foundations for independence in getting new words are [aid early in first grade, and training in specific skills continues all ;hru the elementary grades. Our, program includes training in five' 'approaches" to getting new words, j is follows: i (1) Children are taught to use neaning clues to get new words ind to check on the appropriat- > less of words they have workid out by using other clues. Fori example, if a child were reading:, 'It began to rain. Sally put up; ler?He would expect the next vord to be umbrella whether 'or | lot he had ever seen the printed term of the word before. (Gen- ? srally the meaning clue alone is lot enough to identify the new vord. One or more of the clues nentioned below will also be1 i leeaea.; (2) Children are taught to use vord-form clues ? that is, to look it words with care, noticing their listinguishing characteristics, and. vays that new words are alike or: lifferent from woras they already { enow. | (3) They are taught to notice ;he pattern or structure of words , ;hey already know: that jumping s made up of the familiar word jump with the ending ing on it. | (4) They are taught to associ-. ite sounds with letters symbols ' ind to work out the sound of newj vords for themselves through j phonetic clues. This means that r >ve do teach "phonics" as part of Dur program though we go about it somewhat differently from the 'old days." (5) As children go into the | middle grades they are taught how to use a dictionary to get the jjjl^ EASE CHEST COlDSMtSBHES 1IHS HMMffiH MWT Best-known home remedy you can use to relieve miseries of colds is Vicks VapoRub.
