This document provides guidance for teaching children to read at higher levels by having them define simple words found in reading material. The key steps are to have the child read aloud, define any words they stumble on using a dictionary, put the definition in their own words and make sample sentences. Repeating this process establishes a habit of using the dictionary and helps the child better understand words, read more fluently and at a higher level. The overall goal is to produce a more intelligent child by getting them in the routine of defining all words encountered.
