This file is under continual construction.
Here's a smorgasbord of ideas for you to try:
1. Put the cards on the counter or table, hold your child
in your arms and whirl around after you've read each word.
2. Put word cards on the floor and let your child jump from
one to the next to the next.
.....
My daughter was like that, so I started using the computer
(powerpoint) to show her, she's very interested in the
computer, I let her push the button to move to the next word
and now she asks to "see words"
.....
You might want to try hang the words on a hallway wall so
you child has to see them when she passes by throughout the
day. You could also put them on the floor and make some type
of game. Play follow the leader and you hop over each card
or hop on the correct word(the card may get bent out of
shape).
You may also try just showing 2 or 3 words at a time. It can
be hard showing a 2 year old words since they are so mobile.
Also, show her words that you say to her frequently
i.e. Mommy, Daddy, love, hungry, food.
Showing words to your daughter should be a fun activity for
the both of you. Make sure you stop showing her words before
she wants to stop. This may mean showing only 1 or 2 words.
.....
You've gotten some good ideas. Here are some others to try:
1. Make up word cards with her favorite foods on them.
Then right before you serve them say, "it's time to eat"
and then hold up the card and say whatever the card says.
2. Make up word cards for her favorite activities like walk,
swimming, outside, bouncing etc. Then when you are ready to
do one of them say, "it's time to" and then hold up the card
of what you're about to do.
3. When she's drawing, right a word that she's just said or
that she's especially interested in on her paper.
4. You could try showing her a BIT (Bit of Intelligence
flashcard picture) and then show her the matching word.
5. Since she likes looking at books, you could try making
books with one or two words per page about her life using
photographs.
6. She may be one of those munchkins who has got to be
moving all the time. If that's the case then try to make it a physical game. Make a whole bunch
of verb cards. Show her "jump" and then you jump and
encourage her to jump. Show her "stomp" and then you stomp and encourage her to stomp. Etc.
I agree totally with Pete. She has got to enjoy her
exposure to words. Don't force her. She's got to want to
see them.
....
We also put an easel by my daughters table where we eat
breakfast and lunch. A few days ago I wrote breakfast in
crayon and pointed it out to her. This morning she pointed
to it and said "breakfast". I have also written juice and
lunch and plan to continue with other food related words.
To teach empty and full, I made up word cards and as we
were eating I sat a bowl on the appropriate card. This is a
much sneakier and more creative way to teaching than sitting
down and doing cards which she doesn't enjoy either.
......
I found a way to get my extremely active toddler to
actually look at the cards so I thought I'd share. It is a
little unorthodox, but here goes.... He loves to get behind
open doors and shut adults out and sit behind the door and
laugh as we poke our fingers under and play. So, yesterday I
started poking the flash cards under! Obviously I can't see
his face but I know he enjoys it and he was definitely
looking at them because he kept grabbing at them.
...........
Since your daughter is so active then maybe you can get
index cards and label all the things in your house and walk
around each day and read the words. Label her room, bed,
window, curtain, toys, etc... Make a book of the people she
knows and loves. Just put their name and then their picture.
Make a treasure hunt where you have a stack of 5 or 10 words
and you have a match somewhere and she has to find it. It
can be obvious for younger children and more hidden for
older babies. Get some words of objects outside and take her
for a walk and show her the cards as you look at trees, sand,
grass, etc... I believe you have the inner wisdom to know
what you should do. It is nice to have an outsider's opinion
though. I think you are doing wonderful and your efforts
will pay off.
