Ever wonder what speech and language milestones your 3 year old should be hitting?
Check it out below:
🗣️ Speech & Sound Production
Can say most vowels and many consonants like p, b, m, h, w, n, t, d, k, g, f
Speech is understood by familiar adults about 75% of the time
Starts using 3–4 word sentences (“I want cookie,” “Go outside now”)
Begins using pronouns (I, me, you) and some plurals (“dogs,” “cars”)
đź’¬ Language & Understanding
Understands simple “who,” “what,” and “where” questions
Can follow 2-step directions (“Pick up your toy and put it in the box”)
Has a vocabulary of about 900–1,000 words (and growing fast!)
Can tell you their name, age, and gender
Begins to use simple storytelling (can talk about what happened earlier in the day)
🤝 Social Communication
Enjoys simple conversations and back-and-forth exchanges
Starts playing with other children (not just beside them)
Uses language to request, protest, and comment (“I don’t like it!” “Look at me!”)
