Shoonya Kids helps children build vocabulary across multiple languages!
Three Periods of Learning
An effective method for teaching young children vocabulary is the 3-period, Montessori method. Each ‘period’ introduces a new phase of learning to children in a way that helps them become more familiar with the words they are trying to learn!
Exposure
It is best to expose children to the vocabulary, play them the phonetic sound, and have them trace words with their fingers.
Association
Also know as the association stage, a child should be able to identify a word based on its name. You can have them point to a specific word or image you call out. Do this multiple times with each word so that it is reinforced.
Recall
The recall, or 3rd period, is asked to remember and recall a word. As the final stage, the child should be able to remember words when asked verbally.
