Between the ages of two and three, your little one\u2019s language will improve in leaps and bounds. Not only will the number of words they uses<\/span> explode, but their<\/span> grammar will also become much more advanced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What exactly is grammar and why is it important? <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Grammar is a set of language rules that includes the way we put words in order to form things like phrases, clauses, and sentences, and also the grammatical markers that let people use singular and plural forms to indicate numbers, and use verb-tenses to define time-frames. Grammar allows people – and will someday allow Baby<\/span> – to understand each other and be understood. It will allow them<\/span> to communicate and express themselves<\/span> more clearly the better they learns<\/span> it. Toddlers develop their knowledge of grammar and their ability to use these skills through listening, time, and practice. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Baby<\/span>\u2019s language is probably like presently<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

By age two, your little chatterbox could probably communicate in some pretty amazing ways. they was<\/span> probably able to: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Say around 50 to 100 words, though some children may even have their vocab jump to 300 words by this age. Between the ages of two and four, vocab can increase by as many as two words per day. Some of these words might sound unclear, but can be understood in context, and little ones can understand many more words than they can say. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use simple, two-word phrases or sentences – largely noun-verb combos –  <\/span>like \u201cmore milk\u201d or \u201cdada go.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use sentence length of up to three words <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use a lot of nouns<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Start to use a final “s” for plurals<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use verbs like \u201cplay,\u201d \u201cgo\u201d and \u201cjump\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use adjectives like \u201cwet,\u201d \u201cyucky,\u201d or \u201cwindy\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use words like \u201cmore\u201d and \u201cmost\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Begin to use some pronouns correctly, like \u201cI,\u201d \u201cme,\u201d and \u201cyou\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Begin to understand the concept of and use the words \u201cmy\u201d and \u201cmine\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use a few prepositions, like \u201cin,\u201d \u201con,\u201d and \u201cunder\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Respond to simple commands, like \u201cCome here\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Respond to simple questions, though may not yet know how to respond to \u201cwhy\u201d or \u201chow\u201d questions<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Use words to make questions, like \u201cwho,\u201d \u201cwhat,\u201d and \u201cwhere\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ask one- or two-word questions, like \u201cGo sleep?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    At around two and a half years old, vocab will continue to boom, as will Baby<\/span>\u2019s understating of grammar, and they will<\/span> start to apply grammar rules to their<\/span> speaking more and more, and will start to use verbs more flexibly. T<\/span>he more your little one is speaking, the more mistakes they might<\/span> make. This means that they won\u2019t<\/span> always get those plurals or verb tenses quite right, especially with irregular words and phrases. They might<\/span> say \u201cfoots\u201d instead of \u201cfeet\u201d or \u201crunned\u201d instead of \u201cran.\u201d But these mistakes are a-okay and will continue on for some time. The same way Baby<\/span> would regularly tumble when learning to walk, they needs<\/span> to make mistakes when speaking so they can<\/span> learn from them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s just ahead? <\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    By age three, their<\/span> language will be even more advanced. they will<\/span> likely be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Speak up to 1000 words<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use longer sentences, from three- to four-word simple sentences to five-word sentences or more, such as \u201cMummy go in bed\u201d or \u201cPut hat on head\u201d  <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use more and more verbs with increasing flexibility, including some past tenses and \u201c-ing\u201d endings<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use adverbs like \u201cfast,\u201d and \u201cgently\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use negatives like \u201cno\u201d and \u201cnot\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Use more pronouns correctly, though \u201cme\u201d and \u201cI\u201d may often be confused <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Know at least three prepositions, like \u201cin,\u201d \u201con,\u201d and \u201cunder\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Respond to two- or three-step commands, like \u201cPick up the dolly and put her in the basket\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Speak clearly enough to be understood by family, if not strangers<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Some simple ways to encourage language learning<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Speak using simple and clear language. Follow your little one\u2019s lead, observe them<\/span>, and discuss what they is<\/span> doing and feeling throughout the day. What is they<\/span> interested in? What does they<\/span> like talking about? You can comment on what they is<\/span> doing and occasionally ask questions, but not too many, as Baby<\/span> may become frustrated if they can\u2019t<\/span> respond the way they wants<\/span> to yet. An important part of this is speaking in turn, and giving your little one time to respond and recognize back and forth and pauses.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • One of the best things you can do is model correct grammar instead of instructing them<\/span> on it. This means not correcting your child when they says<\/span> something that is grammatically incorrect. Instead, it helps to say the same idea back to them<\/span> with correct grammar. You can also emphasize the correct part of speech and even expand on what your child is saying for more advanced sentences. So when you hear, \u201cI falled,\u201d you can say, \u201cYes, you did fall. You fell down. Let me give you a hug.\u201d Or \u201cMe want truck.\u201d you can also say, \u201cOh, you want the big red truck!\u201d Correcting can discourage children from trying out new words and phrases, and now is the right time for Baby<\/span> to be taking risks. Modeling instead of correcting gives Baby<\/span> the information they needs<\/span> without discouraging them<\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Books are a great way to introduce new words, phrases, and ideas. Follow Baby<\/span>‘s lead as you explore a book, but also ask questions (Who is this? What is the bunny doing? What do you think will happen next?), point to pictures, and talk about what you see. It helps to model correct grammar usage, new words, and storytelling. <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Ask your little one to tell you a story about the pictures in a book, an animal or object you walk by or about family photos up on the wall. They will<\/span> usually share a simple sentence that you can respond to by modeling correct grammar, if it contains any mistakes. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Since understanding pronouns becomes important around this age, you can try to engage your little one in activities that will call for them<\/span> to use \u201cI,\u201d perhaps by having them<\/span> ask for objects. You can also use pronouns in everyday activities when reading stories for example, \u201cWhat\u2019s daddy doing? He is cooking your dinner right now,\u201d and, \u201cMadeline is brave. She is going to the doctor.\u201d <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Play pretend and talk about it. Ask your little one to tell you what is happening, what just happened and what might happen next. If you can help Baby<\/span> consider something beyond the \u201chere and now\u201d in their<\/span> play, they will<\/span> learn more complex grammar and new verb tenses. \u201cWhat is the dolly doing?\u201d \u201cDolly sleep.\u201d \u201cOh, you\u2019re right, the dolly is sleeping.\u201d \u201cWhat did your doggy just do? \u201cDoggy bark.\u201d \u201cYes, the doggy barked.\u201d \u201cWhat will the bunny do next?\u201d \u201cBunny eat lunch.\u201d \u201cOkay, the bunny will eat lunch.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        As you engage with Baby<\/span> in these ways the goal is always helping them<\/span> hit the next level – so don\u2019t expect them<\/span> to go immediately from \u201cMe go sleep,\u201d to \u201cMother, I\u2019m quite tired, so I think I shall retire to the nursery now with my beloved bear and blankey.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        All children develop at their own pace, but if you\u2019re concerned that Baby<\/span> isn\u2019t hitting these milestones, speak to your child\u2019s healthcare provider who can provide you with more guidance. Finally, language learning should be fun! If you follow Baby<\/span>\u2019s lead, they can<\/span> feel engaged and empowered as they continues<\/span> to try out language in new and exciting ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
