Buildings and Constructions

Age Group : 4+

The development of vocabulary is important for:

  • cognitive development,
  • oral language comprehension and the reinforcement of communication skills,
  • the improvement of reading and decoding skills,
  • the comprehension of a text/written language. 

The stages of development of concepts and the expansion of the lexicon are the following:

  • Evaluation pages / Skill evaluation: this chapter includes evaluation pages for receptive language* and expressive language** (evaluation grid and test pages).
  • Choice of a concept: this chapter is dedicated to the choice of the concept to work on, adapted to the child’s age.
  • Examples of the concept: this chapter includes numerous activities that lead to understanding of the concept being worked on.
  • Following instructions: this chapter includes numerous instructions that enable the understanding and spontaneous use of the concept.
  • Closed questions: this chapter includes numerous closed questions that lead to the comprehension and spontaneous use of the concept.
  • Expression of the concept: this chapter includes expression activities (expressive language) that help the child start to identify the target concept and use it in a spontaneous and autonomous manner.
  • Definition and expansion: this chapter includes activities encouraging concept definition and increased vocabulary. When the child understands the concept and is able to identify it, he/she is asked to define it and develop his/her vocabulary.
