Year 2’s efforts to capture as many new and interesting words as possible is continuing.
The children love being able to encounter a new word and rather than ignore it or be afraid of it, they capture it and bring it in for us all to share. This is having a very positive impact on their approach to reading and their developing vocabulary. As the children loose their fear of unknown words, we are starting to see really innovative and exciting word choices being tried out in their speaking and also in their writing.
We have noticed that we are not getting as many adverbs as we are nouns, verbs and adjectives.
I wonder why that is?
