After you start reading, make a note of new or difficult words you or your children might have learned while enjoying the book. Write them on a slip of paper and put it on the refrigerator so you’ll remember to try to use them again. Then praise your child if you hear him/her using them in speech. Or you could write them on popsicle sticks and put them in a cup for a “use this word” game while you cook dinner.
