Episode Synopsis

Vocabulary is more than just “knowing words” - it’s a key to communication, learning, and connection. In this first episode of my vocabulary mini-series, I walk you through the basics of robust vocabulary instruction: how we use structured teaching in the clinic, the role of preselected word lists, and how tiers of vocabulary help us decide which words to focus on.
We’ll also look at how books, flashcards, and intentional word choice can support language growth, while keeping things engaging and meaningful for kids.
🎙️ Follow along in this three-part series for practical ways to build your child’s vocabulary at home and beyond.
