Proof reading to your kids increases their vocabulary

We checked out the book "The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog!" by Mo Willems at the library. I really got it because Tripp saw it and remembered he read one of them at school. I didn't really think Lexie would like it, but boy was I wrong. It's her favorite book. It has lots of voice in it, and if you read it right, it's super fun! Anyways, the pigeon is describing how a hot dog tastes to a little duckling. The pigeon says, "Well, they are a taste sensation." The other day Lexie ate a yogurt and I asked how she liked that flavor. She said, " I like it...it's a taste sensation!" She used the same emotion in her voice that I use when I read the story. It was too cute.
