Vocab. Development: Transport
Does your nursery need themed resources? Or are you running a group to develop children’s vocabulary? Are you looking for language development ideas for a toy library?
The resources you find in this section (and the other ‘Vocabulary Development’ sections) would be useful in a range of situations.
This section includes products focussing on ‘Transport’ including cars, lorries and aeroplanes.
HOW TO HELP VOCABULARY RANGE AND WORD LEARNING.
Young children learn words by hearing them used over and over again, in the correct context. For various reasons, some children struggle to develop their vocabulary range – they learn and use fewer words than expected for their stage of development. Often, these children need the adults around them to actively do something different to support the child’s language learning; for example, to use the vocabulary that is lacking, (e.g. when the child is playing, name the items they are using).
Some of the products listed below can be used in free or directed play. For more specific work, set up groups or work with individuals on a vocabulary theme. If you want more information on vocabulary development for particular children, we advise you to contact your local Speech and Language Therapy Department.
