Building a Language-rich Environment
Most teaching parents know that the simple act of speaking to a child, even before he can respond, builds a language-rich environment and stimulates the child to learn to speak. Repetition is key to language development, and there is no better way to ensure that than to read to your child.
Wordless Illustrations, Endless Interpretations
Usborne First Thousand Words in English is a lovely way to introduce language to your toddlers. Each one- or two-page spread is of a realistic scene your child should be familiar with, from the backyard to the hospital. The warm, charming, wordless illustrations lend themselves to endless interpretations; each new story layers upon the last, and each storyline reinforces familiar words while introducing unfamiliar ones.
Key Objects Depicted
Throughout First Thousand Words, key objects are pulled out of the larger illustration, and depicted around the edges of the page. Point out the objects, have your child repeat the word and then find the item in the larger illustration.
A Great Conversation Starter
First Thousand Words will provide your child with lots of familiar things to find and name, characters to talk about, and opportunities for counting groups of objects or discovering matching pairs. When it comes to building your toddler's language skills, Usborne First Thousand Words is a great conversation starter!
