A personal dictionary helps students define their terms
One way your teen can strengthen vocabulary is to make a personal dictionary. Encourage your student to write down new words that crop up during the day in a small notebook. Your teen can put a word on the front of a page and its definition on the back, and then flip through the book to do a self-quiz. At dinner, encourage your teen to practice using some of the new words in conversation.
Un diccionario personal ayuda a los estudiantes a definir los términos
Una manera en que su joven puede enriquecer su vocabulario es haciendo un diccionario personal. Anímelo a escribir las palabras nuevas que escuche durante el día en un cuaderno pequeño. Puede escribir la palabra en el frente de una página y su definición en el reverso, y luego ir pasando las páginas y tratar de definirlas antes de leer el significado. En la cena, anime a su joven a utilizar algunas de las palabras nuevas que aprendió.
