Learn new words through songs, rhymes and stories

Learning New Words 🌟

Every day we can learn new words! New words help us tell people what we think, how we feel and what we want. The more words we know, the better we can talk and understand stories.
Example

Words from a Song

🎵 'Twinkle, twinkle, little star' 🎵 New words: twinkle (to shine with a little light ✨), wonder (to think about something you don't know 🤔), diamond (a shiny stone 💎).
Example

Words from Our Day

At breakfast: cereal 🥣, pour, bowl At school: teacher 👩‍🏫, playground, friend 🧒 At home: kitchen, cook, delicious 😋
Note

Remember

Sing songs 🎶, listen to stories 📖 and talk with your friends. When you hear a new word, ask what it means — that's how we grow our word collection!
