It may seem like just another day with your receptive kiddo. But if you stop and think about it, your child is decoding pictures, signs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/04\/28\/symbolic-play-imagination-comes-to-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>symbols<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; and using language to identify it &#8212; which is actually pretty impressive!<\/p>\n<p>Visuals play a big role in language development. Think back to the dawn of time. Primitive cave drawings were used to express ideas, emotions, and stories. Today, we use pictures and symbols to find a restroom, catch a bus, order food, or navigate through a new city. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2019\/10\/01\/using-visuals-to-teach-independent-self-care-tasks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>visuals<\/strong><\/a> are such an important part of language, here\u2019s a snapshot of the science behind the visual learning phenomenon!<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b><i>Highlights:\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using visual input, such as symbols, pictures, and illustrations can help expand a toddler\u2019s vocabulary and boost language development.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual cues support language skills because they:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow more time for processing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assist in memory and recall.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold a child\u2019s attention longer than auditory cues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One picture can help a toddler learn multiple words.

Science tells us that the human brain is \u201cvisually wired.\u201d Almost 50% of our brain is used to process visuals. In other words, we love pictures! Pictures, illustrations, and symbols have helped us to learn and communicate for centuries. Because of this, educators, parents, and caregivers can utilize visual cues to help expand a toddler\u2019s vocabulary and boost language development.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Visual Cues Help Toddlers Learn New Words<\/h2>\n<p>Simply put, visual cues help toddlers develop language because pictures and symbols are representations of words. And while <em>saying<\/em> a word is helpful, auditory input is quickly processed and forgotten. Visual cues can help a toddler learn new words because they:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allow more time for processing<\/li>\n<li>Assist in memory and recall<\/li>\n<li>Hold a child\u2019s attention longer than auditory cues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Toddlers can benefit from visual learning through symbols and pictures, but they can also use their own drawings to express themselves. When a toddler draws a picture, they may seem like scribbles and doodles to us, but there\u2019s always tons of meaning behind your little Picasso\u2019s creation! This tells us that pictures can be used to learn new words <em>and<\/em> help a young child <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babysparks.com\/2017\/09\/18\/supporting-expressive-language-skills-during-baby-toddler-hood\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>express themselves<\/strong><\/a> while language is still developing.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, do you remember the old adage \u201ca picture is worth a thousand words\u201d? It\u2019s true! Well, maybe not a <em>thousand <\/em>words, but one picture or symbol can indeed be used to teach more than one word. For instance, a visual cue of a school bus can help a toddler learn words like school, bus, driver, or yellow. If you ask your toddler to tell you a story using only the pictures in a book, you may notice that each time you do it the same pictures tell a different story. This shows that your little one is using the pictures to practice different ways of talking, forming sentences, and using new words.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using BabySparks, you will find fun language activities that incorporate visuals, such as <em>Tell Me a Story<\/em>, <em>Picture Reading<\/em>, <em>Selecting the Right Symbol<\/em>, and <em>Traffic Signs<\/em>. Remember that toddlers learn through repetition, so don\u2019t hesitate to repeat these activities again and again. New words or phrases can appear at any time![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]While driving around town, you might hear your toddler yell things like \u201cStop!\u201d at a stop sign, or \u201cMcDonald\u2019s!\u201d when he sees the famous golden arches.
