    Study Notes

    Language Development

    • Children's vocabulary expands rapidly between ages 1-3, with some acquiring 450 words by age 3.
    • By 6 months, infants can distinguish between sounds and develop phonological awareness.
    • Caregivers' use of child-directed speech (CDS) with exaggerated tones and rhythms helps infants develop language skills.
    • Infants as young as 6 months can differentiate between languages and develop phonological awareness.

    Receptive Vocabulary

    • Receptive vocabulary refers to the words a child understands when spoken to them.
    • By age 2, children typically have a receptive vocabulary of around 300-400 words.
    • Receptive vocabulary is crucial for language development, as it enables children to understand spoken language and build their expressive vocabulary.

    Expressive Vocabulary

    • Expressive vocabulary refers to the words a child uses when speaking.
    • Children typically develop expressive vocabulary by imitating caregivers and through interactive play.
    • A child's expressive vocabulary is often smaller than their receptive vocabulary, as they may understand more words than they can use in their own speech.

    Language Development Milestones

    • By age 1, children typically say their first words and start combining two words together.
    • By age 2, children start using around 50 words and start combining two words to form simple sentences.
    • By age 3, children's vocabulary expands rapidly, and they start using more complex sentences and grammatical structures.

    Bilingualism and Language Development

    • Children exposed to multiple languages from birth can develop bilingualism and even trilingualism.
    • Bilingualism has been linked to improved cognitive abilities, especially in areas such as problem-solving and memory.
    • Children raised in bilingual or multilingual environments may have an advantage in language development, as they learn to navigate multiple language systems.

    Metalinguistic Awareness

    • Metalinguistic awareness refers to the ability to think about and reflect on language.
    • Children typically develop metalinguistic awareness around age 5-6, when they start to understand language rules and conventions.
    • Metalinguistic awareness is crucial for language development, as it enables children to understand and manipulate language structures.

    Literacy Skills

    • Emergent literacy skills, such as understanding that print carries meaning, develop in the preschool years.
    • Children's literacy skills are influenced by their language development and metalinguistic awareness.
    • Strong literacy skills are built on a foundation of language development and metalinguistic awareness.
