As children head back to school, it’s important to practice core vocabulary words that are used frequently across many different situations and help children communicate their wants, needs, feelings, and ideas.
Some helpful school-based core words include:
🗣️ Help
👫 Friend
👂 Listen
🤝 Share
🙋 Name
👩🏫 Teacher
🛑 Stop
⏳ Wait
These words give children functional ways to ask for help, interact with others, follow directions, participate in classroom routines, and communicate throughout their school day. Practicing these words during everyday activities can help children feel more confident and independent when communicating at school! 💬✨
