Action word play

Hoe doe je deze activiteit

As you and your child do activities together, say what you are doing using simple action words. Running, jumping, eating, drinking, throwing, or catching. Match your words to what your child is actually doing in the moment. Then wait to see if they repeat the word or action.

Waarom het werkt

Labeling actions as they happen provides rich language input during the critical vocabulary explosion period when your child's brain is primed for language acquisition. Research demonstrates that improved parent-child verbal interaction quality enhances school readiness and long-term academic success (Parent Child Home Program, 2019). By combining words with actions, you help your child connect language to their lived experience, building effective communication skills.

Tips voor ouders

Use the same action words repeatedly. Hearing words many times helps your child learn them. Keep sentences short. One or two words work best for this age. Act out the words with your child. Moving together makes the words more memorable.
