Language Express Tip of the Week
Go on a nature scavenger hunt. Make a list with words and pictures, and then go hunting for everything on the list. This is a great outdoor activity for older preschoolers. Some ideas are: birds, squirrels, a dried up leaf on a tree, an icicle, a cloud, etc.
For each thing your child finds, ask how it got there or what it’s for. Kids learn a lot by thinking and talking about “how” and “why” questions, and not just “what.”
