Stage 1 – Known as the prelinguistic, babbling or cooing stage. This stage typically lasts from the ages of three months to nine months. Babies usually begin to make basic vowel sounds such as ooooooo and aaaaaaa. Most babies typically begin to babble and add consonant sounds such as ba-ba, ma-ma & da-da around five months of age.
Stage 2 – Known as the one-word or holophase stage of language development. Typically around ten to thirteen months of age children begin to say their first real words. Although at this age children can only say a few, single words, we must remember that they are able to understand considerably more. Infants begin to comprehend language twice as fast as they begin to talk.
Stage 3 – The third stage begins around eighteen months of age, children begin to use two word sentences. Sentences typically consist only of nouns and verbs. Eg. “Where daddy?” or “Puppy big!”
Stage 4 – Around the age of two years, children are beginning to produce short sentences that have a subject. Eg. “Mummy is nice” “Want more milk”
As children get older, they learn new words every day. By the time they have their fifth birthday, children have a vocabulary of around 10,000 words or even more.
