My Big Vocabulary Book

Every new word a child learns gives them another way to understand their world, express what they need and join in the conversation.

My Big Vocabulary Book is a comprehensive 58-page printable PDF resource for children aged 2 years and older, created to encourage early vocabulary, speech and language development through colourful, easy-to-understand pictures and words.

What Is This Book About?

This is much more than a picture dictionary. The book uses familiar objects, people, animals, colours, shapes, actions and everyday situations to encourage children to look, listen, name, describe and talk.

The colourful pictures are paired with words and short phrases, giving parents and teachers plenty of opportunities to start conversations and ask questions. As children develop, the same pictures can be used in different ways – from simply naming an object to describing what is happening in a picture.

The booklet also includes guidance for adults on how to use the resource to encourage communication and language development.

What Children Can Learn

Throughout the book, children are introduced to vocabulary relating to:

• Colours and shapes
• Animals and people
• Everyday objects
• Food and household items
• Actions and movement
• Describing words
• Feelings and emotions
• People and occupations
• Simple phrases and situations
• Early conversational language
• Picture recognition and naming
• Listening and speaking

Why Parents and Teachers Will Love It

Young children learn language through seeing, hearing, repeating and talking. This book provides the visual prompts adults need to turn ordinary learning time into meaningful conversation.

You can point to a picture and ask a young child to name it. With an older child, you can ask what they see, what is happening, what colour something is, or encourage them to describe the picture in their own words.

This means the resource can grow with the child instead of being used only once.

The book itself encourages adults to talk slowly and clearly, discuss the pictures, ask questions, explain unfamiliar words and praise children for their answers – making it a practical resource for active language learning rather than passive memorization.
