E07 Vocabulary Made Simple (Part 3): Expanding Language Through Play


Listen Later

Play is one of the most powerful ways children learn - and it’s the perfect space for vocabulary growth. In this final episode of the series, I share how to model and expand vocabulary during play, whether it’s following up on words from books or choosing new words as they come up naturally in play.

You’ll hear how to balance guidance with following your child’s lead, and why play-based word learning sticks in ways structured teaching sometimes doesn’t.

🎙️ This episode wraps up our vocabulary mini-series with practical, playful strategies you can start using today.
