They tell you to use words that the kid can relate to. So I made a set of flash cards with the names of body parts. I hacked an HTML <table> so that the cards would come out in only two different sizes, and then laminated & cut them. Also simple words like left, right, front, back. I used font attributes to grey out silent letters and oddities like "gh" (this was for English), and I used <small> for the occasional unusually long word. Then my kid and I played "The Body Parts Game". I shuffle the cards and go thru them one by one. Each card, I ask him to say the word and then point to the body part. It went really well. It kept a 2yo entertained and he knew he was learning something important.
