A good vocabulary improves all areas of communication — listening, speaking, reading and writing. Vocabulary is critical to a child's success for these reasons: Vocabulary growth is directly related to school achievement. The size of a child's vocabulary in kindergarten predicts the ability to learn to read.

Working memory is responsible for many of the skills children use to learn to read. Auditory working memory helps children hold on to the sounds letters make long enough to sound out new words. Visual working memory helps children remember what those words look like so they can recognise them throughout the rest of a sentence. I would like you to play the following game with your children - it will be good fun to see how much you can remember too! Enjoy - learning doesn't always have to be writing things in books to be learning - it can be fun too!
