What you can practice

  • Noticing how your child uses words during play.
  • Choosing moments that invite conversation instead of passive screen time.
  • Watching how quickly kids pick up new language when it is tied to action.
  • Partnering with teachers who see the day-to-day growth.

Try a phrase

Your child is building with blocks.

  • What are you making?A simple open question invites them to talk about their idea, name materials, and stretch their language naturally.

Practice on your own

  1. Pick one play moment today and ask an open question.
  2. Notice the words your child already uses.
  3. Share what you see with their teacher so you can support the same growth at home.
