Of course, one of the best ways for children to learn is through continuing to read as widely and as often as they can. Any activities you can work on with your child that help to build vocabulary – be it discussions, word games such as Scrabble, general knowledge games such as Trivial Pursuits, or watching documentaries would be invaluable. Newsround is excellent for this.
