SIGN UP HEREI WANT TO SUPPORT HARRY THROUGH HIS 11+ PREPARATION
Why have I created a word a day membership?
Our son, Harry, will be taking his 11+ school entrance exam next year. One way we are going to support him is by looking at a word a day, which will expand his vocabulary, which will help prepare him for the verbal reasoning part of his test.
I have created little 5 minute 'word a day' videos, where I look at one word in detail: what it means, how it is pronounced, how it is spelt, what type of word it is, how to use it in a variety of sentences, words with similar meanings and words opposite in meaning to it.
Wow! Yes, please.Watch one of Katie's word videos!
In this video Katie explains the meaning of the word apprehensive.
IMPROVED WRITING AND SPELLINGS
What are some of the benefits?
🗣️ Exposure. Looking at a new word every day exposes your child to new words. Exposing your child to a word every day encourages them to use a wide range of vocabulary. This exposure helps them become familiar with different words and their
meanings.
🗣️ Context. Your child will also learn the word in its context. Looking at short descriptions and example sentences will give your child context for understanding the word. This context can make it easier for your child to remember and use the word
appropriately in their writing.
🗣️ Routine and Consistency. Establishing a daily routine of learning a new word every day encourages regular language enrichment. Consistency in learning can lead to a cumulative increase in a child's vocabulary over time leading to better writing
skills.
🗣️ Active Engagement. To learn a word effectively, your child will need to actively engage with it. By paying attention to the word's meaning, how they can use it in a sentence - they'll most likely use it in their everyday language and in class with others, not to mention in their writing. Such engagement enhances their understanding and retention of the word.
🗣️ Cognitive development. Regular exposure to new words encourages cognitive development and critical thinking. It encourages children to think about language, its nuances, and the different ways words
can be used.
🗣️ Communication skills. A richer vocabulary provides children with the tools they need to express themselves more effectively. It allows them to communicate their thoughts, ideas, and
feelings more precisely.
