How many words should a 4-year-old know?”

Caption:
A 4-year-old might know up to 1500–2000+ words.
At this stage, they should:
• Use full sentences
• Be understood by strangers ~90% of the time
• Use descriptive words (big, loud, happy)
They may even code-switch fluently between languages!

Tip: Kids need to hear a word 5–20 times before they start using it.
Caption:
Don’t worry if your child doesn’t say a new word right away—keep repeating it naturally in conversation!
Example: “Here’s your spoon. Use your spoon. Is your spoon clean?” SpeechTherapy

A 3-year-old typically knows 200–1,000 words and begins speaking in short sentences like “I want the blue ball.”
But what if your child speaks more than one language?
Count all the words they use, even if it’s split across languages.
Some words may only appear in one language—and that’s okay!
Language growth looks different in multilingual kids, but progress still matters.

В 2 года дети начинают активно развивать свои речевые навыки, и их способность понимать речь значительно расширяется. Ожидается, что к этому возрасту дети будут понимать следующие виды речи:

# # # 1. **Простые команды и просьбы**
- Дети могут понимать **простые команды**: например, “Дай игрушку”, “Принеси мяч”, “Положи в корзину”.
- Они также начинают понимать **вопросы**: “Где мяч?”, “Что это?”.

# # # 2. **Речь с контекстом**
- Дети начинают **понимать речь в контексте** событий, происходящих вокруг них. Например, если мать говорит “Пойдем одеваться”, ребенок может понять, что нужно надеть одежду.
- Они также могут понимать, что значит **уходить на прогулку** или **пора ложиться спать**.

# # # 3. **Названия объектов и людей**
- В возрасте 2 лет дети понимают **названия знакомых предметов** (например, “мяч”, “собака”, “стол”).
- Они начинают узнавать и называть **члены семьи** (мама, папа, бабушка, дедушка).

# # # 4. **Соответствующие реакции на эмоции и просьбы**
- Дети могут понимать, когда речь используется для выражения **эмоций** (например, “Ты расстроен?” или “Ты рад?”).
- Они начинают понимать, когда им говорят что-то вроде “Не трогай!”, что связано с ограничениями или правилами.

# # # 5. **Простые рассказы и объяснения**
- Хотя на данном этапе дети еще не могут полностью понимать сложные рассказы, они уже начинают улавливать смысл **коротких и простых историй** или **объяснений**, например, “Мишка спит”, “Кошка ловит мышку”.

# # # 6. **Вопросы с простыми запросами**
- В 2 года дети уже могут понимать вопросы типа: “Что это?”, “Где твоя игрушка?”.
- Они могут отвечать жестами или короткими словами.

# # # Ожидаемые речевые навыки:
- **Понимание простых предложений**: дети могут понимать не только отдельные слова, но и простые фразы.
- **Понимание вопросов и команд**: они могут следовать указаниям и реагировать.

Frequently Asked Questions from Parents

We often get questions from parents regarding speech development and multilingualism. Here are some of the most common ones:

In which language should I talk to my child if we speak more than two languages?
Does my child have a speech development issue, or could it be because of multilingualism?
How can I help my child learn the language of their surroundings if it’s not my mother tongue?
Is my child on the autistic spectrum?
Would you recommend Kentalis?
Can you give advice to daycare providers on language development?..and many more!

Dear parents, these questions are very individual and depend on your unique situation. For the best guidance, we recommend a consultation with a specialist who is expert in bilingualism and multilingualism.

We have a waiting list, but we’d be happy to help! Feel free to contact us for more information.

Speech development in children progresses rapidly between the ages of 2 and 3 years. Here are key milestones in speech and language development at this stage:

Vocabulary Expansion:
At 2 years old, children typically have a vocabulary of about 200-300 words.
By 2.5 years, they may have up to 500 words.
They start using more nouns, verbs, and pronouns.
Two-Word Phrases:
Around 2 years, children begin to combine two words to form simple sentences, such as “want cookie” or “go outside.”
Pronunciation:
Their speech may still be unclear, with certain sounds and words being pronounced incorrectly or omitted (e.g., saying “ca” for “cat”).
Some sound errors are common at this age, such as substituting sounds like “w” for “r” (e.g., “wabbit” for “rabbit”).
Understanding Simple Instructions:
At 2 years old, children can understand and follow simple directions such as “come here” or “give me the toy.”
They can also point to familiar objects when named.
Questioning:
Around 2.5 years, children may begin asking simple questions, such as “What’s that?” or “Where’s mommy?”
Pragmatic Use of Language:
Children begin to use language for a variety of functions beyond requesting things, such as greeting, making requests, and commenting on things they see or experience.
Pronouns and Simple Sentences:
By 2-3 years, children start using pronouns (“I,” “you,” “me”) and may begin forming simple sentences with a subject and a verb (“I play,” “You eat”).
Imitating Speech:
Children imitate the speech of adults or older children, learning new words and phrases in this way.
Non-Verbal Communication:
Gestures and body language are still important ways children communicate at this age, even as their verbal skills develop.

Language Development and its Impact on Writing in Elementary School 📚✍️

Did you know that language development directly impacts writing skills in elementary school? Children who build their language skills early on can express themselves better when writing and structure their thoughts more clearly. 🧠💬

A rich vocabulary, understanding sentence structures, and good phonological awareness are key to successful writing. When children actively engage with language – through speaking, reading aloud, and practicing – they not only improve their reading but also their writing abilities. 🌟

Teachers and parents can support this development by encouraging kids to talk and be creative. This makes learning to write easier and more fun! 😊✨

Did you know that certain foods can affect your child’s behavior and speech? 🤔 Here are a few to keep an eye on:

🍬 Sugar: Too much sugar can lead to hyperactivity and concentration issues.
🧃 Artificial Colors & Preservatives: These can negatively affect the behavior of sensitive children.
🍞 Gluten (if intolerant): Can cause irritability and developmental delays.
🥛 Dairy Products: If intolerant, they can trigger restlessness and aggression.
🍔 High-fat & Processed Foods: They can disrupt cognitive development.
☕ Caffeine: Can cause sleep problems and nervousness.

Pay attention to which foods your child tolerates well – a balanced diet is key to healthy development. 🌱

Why Rhyming Words Are Important for Child Development

Rhyming words play a crucial role in a child’s development for several reasons:

Language Skills: By hearing and repeating rhymes, children develop a better sense of language. They learn to recognize and connect sounds, which forms the foundation for later reading and writing.
Phonological Awareness: Rhyming words help build phonological awareness, the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in words. This skill is essential for becoming a fluent reader and writer later on.
Memory and Focus: Rhymes are catchy and repetitive, which strengthens children’s memory. Remembering and reciting rhymes improves their concentration and retention of language patterns.
Creativity and Play with Language: Rhymes encourage children’s imagination. They play with words, experiment with sounds, and discover new meanings, fostering creativity and a playful understanding of language.
Self-Confidence and Agency: When children memorize and use rhymes on their own, it boosts their self-confidence and sense of language competence.
Overall, learning rhymes helps children develop their linguistic and cognitive abilities, providing a strong foundation for their future academic and social growth. #

28/01/2025

In speech therapy, “playing shopping” is often used to promote language skills in a real-life context. It’s a playful method that helps train various language abilities such as speaking, listening, asking and answering questions, and expanding vocabulary. During “shopping play,” social skills like politeness, interacting with others, and understanding roles and communication in everyday situations can also be practiced.

Another advantage is that this activity not only challenges patients linguistically but is also creative and action-oriented, which boosts motivation. This helps to practice language in a practical, realistic setting and apply what is learned in real life. #
