1️⃣ While your child is young, even a baby, point out words all around you. Words are everywhere, if you love words like I do, share that love with your children.

2️⃣ Show your excitement about new words by reading to your kids, even while they are infants. While my kids were little, I labeled common household objects that they could see.

3️⃣ Read creatively. For instance, I cook with recipes and show my children the cookbooks so they can read which ingredients we need to use.
