Maya Helps a Baby Seal

It is important for children to learn the meanings of words, but it is even more important for them to understand the concept or idea of the words. To help them understand concepts, teach them other words that mean the same thing and use lots of different examples. For example, explain that look, a word they know, and glance mean almost the same thing. Glance means to look at something quickly. Help children think of other words that mean to look. For example, stare means to look at for a long time.
