Teaching vocabulary to children is a fundamental aspect of language development that significantly impacts their reading comprehension, communication skills, and overall academic success. This paper explores effective strategies for vocabulary instruction tailored to young learners. Key approaches include contextual learning through reading, play-based activities that engage children in interactive word games, and the use of visual aids such as flashcards and graphic organizers. Additionally, the importance of repetition and reinforcement is emphasized, alongside the integration of technology and creative writing exercises to enhance vocabulary retention. By fostering a rich language environment that encourages exploration and connection-making, educators and parents can empower children to develop a robust vocabulary that will serve them throughout their educational journeys and beyond.
