Try this at home. Pick a word and ask your child what it means. Then take turns using it in a sentence about your day. Five minutes is plenty.
Practiquen en casa. Elijan una palabra y pregúntenle a su hijo o hija qué significa. Después, túrnense para usarla en una oración sobre su día. Cinco minutos bastan.
