Visualize An Apple A Day

You can build a massive vocabulary beginning today.

It begins with an APPLE a day.

Let me explain.

I have started kids age 5 and up on a daily diet of Visualization Vocabulary.

I commenced by displaying a rosy red apple.

They yelled back APPLE with the unbridled passion only a 5 year old can summon.

We took the next several minutes to learn the words ROSE. JUICY, SHINY and DELICIOUS.

Four new words, several of them not in their vocabulary minutes before.

Now, when they see an APPLE, a regular feature in their everyday life, these new words will be forever linked to the popular fruit.

Older children and s can build a VISUALIZATION VORTEX on the very same concept.

ROSE describes the color of an apple and is suitable for a 5 year old, but CRIMSON is another descriptive color one can visualize when the picture of an APPLE comes to mind.

We CHEW an APPLE. but our teeth help us to MASTICATE the pieces.

The picture in one's mind of an APPLE or similarly SUCCULENT fruit often will prompt us to SALIVATE.

Our original 4 word VISULAIZATION VOCABULARY has doubled to 8 words.

It all started with an APPLE a day.

Get the picture?
