The
importance of explicit vocabulary instruction in early childhood
education can not be underestimated. It is critical to build word
knowledge from an early age.
As teachers, we are always looking for ways to make vocabulary
instruction engaging while still being developmentally appropriate.
Picture dictionaries are great tools to use in the classroom to support
oral language development. Pearson Longman Picture Dictionaries are
designed to build vocabulary and give children the necessary language
to interact with their world.
