Reading SOS: How can I help my four year old learn more words?

Literacy expert Sandra Wilborn shares three key ways to build your young child’s vocabulary: lots of family talk, narrating your every day activities such as cooking or shopping, and reading to your child — while pointing out new words and then using them in your conversations. 

This video is part of our special series, Reading SOS, where parents ask the experts their questions about reading and how to support their kids at home.
