When will my infant speak? What should my child's first words be? In Beyond Baby Talk ($15, 2001, Prima Publishing), Kenn Apel and Julie Masterson answer these questions (and many more!) while covering the stages of speech and language development for infants, babies, toddlers and preschoolers--in essence, the first years of a child's life.
Sample chapter [PDF]
For example, did you know:
- By the time a toddler reaches age three she will probably be using over 1,000 words.
- Toddlers often use a different pitch when speaking to babies or animals.
- The speech of most three year olds can be understood 75% of the time. By age four, most children can be understood 95% of the time.
