After reading Peter's Chair by Ezra Jack Keats, discuss some of the words in the book and what they mean. Relate new words to more common words. For example, introduce children to the word “cradle” and ask them what other words they know for something children sleep in. Encourage children to use the new word in play. Say, “let's put our baby dolls in the cradle.” This could be done in large group.
