Tips for Teaching Ocean Words

  • 1.Show real examples — Pictures and videos help, but real objects are even better when possible.
  • 2.Say it slowly first — Break the word into syllables. Let them hear each part.
  • 3.Repeat over days — Toddlers need to hear a word many times before it sticks.
  • 4.Celebrate attempts — Close enough counts! Praise the effort.
