Truth: Instead, raise your kid's vocabulary by using normal language. The picture-letter cards and story will increase a child's vocabulary. A two-year-old will not know what a flute, a quail, or a yacht is. S/he learns about them as the parent says them. Take every opportunity to reinforce or point them out on television, in a magazine, at the zoo, or in the countryside.
Vocabulary
is the one place that you don’t want to just keep it simple. Studies show that,
in general, dads tend to use bigger words with children than moms, and it helps
to raise their vocabulary.
Young Isaac couldn’t hear well until his adenoids were removed. By then, he was far behind in his speech. So his mom used The Godfrey Method picture-letters to help him learn sounds, talk, and bring him up to speed. He has progressed very quickly, which surprised his doctors!
