Each month during the school year we are going to focus on two core vocabulary words. We will be doing activities in Large Group to focus on these words and we will also be intentionally focusing on using these words during play activities in the classroom. For the month of September, we are focusing on the words "me" and "you". You can help your child practice using these words by using them in a variety of natural communication opportunities.
Some ways that you can do this is to encourage use of these words when making requests, comments, commands or exclamations.
You can use the words "me" and "you" in transitions by asking, "Do you want to go with me?" or "Will you go with me?". You can emphasize the word "you" when describing what you see your child doing like, "I see YOU are running, jumping, sitting etc.". A great book for exposure to the word "me" is the book Just Me and My Mom by Mercer Mayer. A great book for exposure to "you" is the book Happy Birthday to You by Dr. Seuss. Also you can find a great YouTube video that focuses on the word "me" by searching "this is me" which is a song about body parts by Elf Learning. It's catchy and you will find yourself singing and dancing with your child.
