The 5 Stages of Language Development

Receptive and Expressive Language

How Children Can Be Supported

What is receptive language? Receptive language is how a child understands language What is expressive language? Expressive language is how a child expresses themself.

  • Stage I - the emergence of actul words (ages 12-26 months)
  • Stage II - emergnce of prefixes, prepositions, and suffixes (ages 27-30 months)
  • Stage III - development of various sentence types (ages 31-34 months)
  • Stage IV - development of complex sentences (ages 35-40 months)
  • Stage V - refinement of skills built in earlier stages (ages 41-46 months)
(Kuder, 2018)

In Stage I, we can talk to the children about their environment and encourage imitation of sounds In Stage II, we can talk to children about colors of objects and describe things in their environment Stage III, We can explain the reasons why things happen, why they should listen to your directions Stage IV, encourage children to use words to describe items in their environment and talk to and encourage them to form more sentences to communicate.

The impact these skills have on language development is - if a child is unable to understand the words being spoken to them, they won't be able to express themselves with those words.
