It’s a pretty simple question, with a big impact if you can do it! Knowing different words, and how to use them in lots of situations, is key to everything your child will do at school and how they communicate throughout their life. 

In this episode we’re going to talk in really practical terms about different things you can do with your 3- 5 year old to build up their inner dictionary, equip them with the vocabulary they’ll need to express themselves and hopefully start growing a love of words and language that will last a lifetime! 

With special guests, Jack, who has two children, and Samantha Armstrong, Head of Home Learning at Oxford University Press. Sam works on Oxford Children's Dictionaries including our range of first dictionaries which are ideal for little learners.

This episode also mentions the Big Words for Little People series, which includes a number of picture books for introducing new vocabulary to under 5s.
