• It helps them connect letters to words. When children learn the alphabet, they're learning the individual letters. But when you teach them about common words, they're learning how those letters come together to form words that they can actually use in their everyday lives.

• It makes learning more fun. Learning the alphabet can be repetitive and boring. But when you teach them about common words, you're making learning more fun and engaging.

So how do you teach your child about common words?

Here are a few tips:

• Start with words that they already know. Think about the words that your child uses most often. These could be words like "mom," "dad," "dog," "cat," "ball," and "car."
• Use real-life examples. When you're teaching your child about a word, use real-life examples to help them understand. For example, if you're teaching your child about the word "dog," you could point to a dog and say, "That's a dog."
• Play games. Games are a great way to help children learn. There are many different games that you can play to teach your child about common words. One simple game is to have your child match words to pictures.
• Read to your child. Reading to your child is one of the best ways to help them learn new words. When you read to your child, point out the words that you're reading and talk about what they mean.

Teaching your child about common, real-life words is an important part of helping them develop their language skills. By following these tips, you can make learning fun and engaging for your child.
