Better Vocabulary = Better Income
From the late Earl Nightengale:
Many years ago, the graduating class of a large university was given an examination in English vocabulary. The test scores were graded into groups of 5 percent – the top 5 percent, and so on to the bottom. At regular intervals during the next 20 years, questionnaires were sent to the surviving graduates, asking them their occupations, incomes, and so on. Without a single exception, those who had scored the highest on the vocabulary test were in the top income group, while those who had scored lowest were in the bottom income group.
The more words your child knows, the greater your child’s success
Nightengale continued:
Reader’s Digest published an article by Blake Clark titled “Words Can Work Wonders for You.” In it, he wrote: “Tests of more than 350,000 persons from all walks of life show that, more often than any other measurable characteristic, knowledge of the exact meanings of a large number of words accompanies outstanding success.”
Tested by a scientist
More from Nightengale:
In his article, Clark also mentioned the work done in this field by scientist Johnson O'Connor, and he gave O'Connor's best illustration of the importance of vocabulary: Tests were given to executive and supervisory personnel in 39 large manufacturing plants. The results showed that every one of the people tested rated high in the basic aptitudes that go with leadership. Differences in their vocabulary ratings, however, were definite and dramatic. Presidents and vice presidents averaged 236 out of a possible 272 points; managers averaged 168; superintendents, 140; foremen, 114; floor bosses, 86. In virtually every case, vocabulary correlated with executive level and income.
Just learning 10 words can expose your child to 90 more
Blake Clark went on to say, “... Deliberately learning 10 new words, we pick up probably 90 more, almost without realizing it.”
Your child's language skills are the key to all his learning
Nightengale asserts:
- Understanding our language is the key to studying and learning everything else.
- Make it a point to acquire books that will help you improve your vocabulary.
- Impress on your youngsters the importance of knowing their language, the importance of speech.
