Boost Vocabulary Through Science Play

Most teachers are never shown how to teach science and vocabulary in ways that help children truly understand new concepts and actually use new words.
But science activities are perfect opportunities to build vocabulary that sticks — so children don’t just hear new words, they understand them, use them, and connect them to what they’re learning.
In this self-paced video training, taught by a speech language pathologist, you’ll learn:
  1. Which words to teach (and which ones to skip) so children build a stronger vocabulary 
  2. Six simple rules for teaching new words so vocabulary actually sticks
  3. Ideas for hands-on science activities across 5 domains: Life science, chemistry, physics, environmental science, and earth/space

Stop hoping children pick up new words naturally and start using science activities intentionally to build vocabulary that lasts.

"Clear information and excellent examples.

Kelly is such a 'user friendly' presenter! Her techniques are relevant and directly parallel what we (preschool teachers) can apply to our classrooms."
"What I liked about this training was the practical application of topic.

This training was the most interesting subject I have had in Bridging Child Development. I was able to implement the science activities and vocabulary, even with my young children."
"The teacher brought a fresh and interesting approach to enhancing scientific vocabulary for young kids.

I liked the examples that could be used the next day in class. Consistent format and set up of the sections in the class. Engaging with other teachers via the teachers helping teachers section."
