This is a list of some of the first words commonly learnt by young children. Your child will need to hear these words lots and lots of times before he will attempt to say them. Encourage your child by telling him what things are around the house, modelling the words. Ask him to find you things to help develop his understanding of the word e.g. ‘get me the ball’.
