Detailed explanation-1: -Children learn new words mainly by hearing them in a meaningful context (which often includes a story’s illustrations or a speaker’s gestures). Reading to and with children, and engaging them in conversations, are great ways to build their vocabularies.
Detailed explanation-2: -A robust 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -All normal children who grow up in normal households, surrounded by conversation, will acquire the language that is being used around them. And it is just as easy for a child to acquire two or more languages at the same time, as long as they are regularly interacting with speakers of those languages.
