While having a strong knowledge of words isn’t a skill necessary for success, it’s well documented that people with better vocabularies are more intelligent. The standard IQ test which measures a person’s core intelligence, tests vocabulary and knowledge of words. Those who possess an IQ score above 135 are said to be geniuses, with a potential to understand more complex formulas and theories. One characteristic of such people is a strong vocabulary. Integrating more complex words into standard language takes intelligence, and often children who demonstrate a high IQ use words above their current level of knowledge and read at a much higher age level.
It’s important to begin children building a strong vocabulary at a young age. Kids who can demonstrate an affinity for words including writing and reading will have an easier time throughout their academic career. Involve children in reading and vocabulary building activities while they’re young for a brighter future!
