Language development and the progression
STAGE 2
Age 1–2 Years: Single Words (One-Word Utterances)
Receptive (Much larger than Expressive) Understands 100–300 words by 18 months, they could follow simple 1-step commands (e.g., "Roll the ball") and points to pictures.
Expressive: Speaks isolated single words; enjoys repetitive rhymes and stories.
STAGE 5
Age 6–8 Years: Symbolic & Contextual Language
Receptive: Receptive vocabulary expands up to 25,000 words. Adapts language formality based on the situation.
Expressive: Expressive vocabulary exceeds 3,000 words. Uses complex structures (e.g., if...then conditional clauses) to reason, solve problems, and express opinions.
STAGE 4
Linguistic Speech – Using Complete Sentences (3–6 Years)
3–4 Years:
Uses sentences with 4+ words. Overgeneralizes grammar rules (e.g., saying "runned" instead of "ran"). Begins developing Theory of Mind (understanding others' feelings).
4–5 Years:
Follows 3-step commands. Constructs compound/complex sentences with a vocabulary of 1,500–2,500 words. Pronounces most sounds accurately.
5–6 Years:
Receptive vocabulary reaches ~10,000 words. Forms all sentence types (questions, commands, statements) with clear pronunciation.
STAGE 1
Age 0–12 Months: Pre-Linguistic Stage
0–3 Months:
Receptive: Distinguishes human voices from noise; startles at unexpected sounds.
Expressive: Uses crying to signal needs; produces gurgling and cooing sounds.
4–6 Months:
Receptive: Recognizes native language; responds to vocal tone and the word "No!"
Expressive: Babbling begins (consonant + vowel combinations like ba-ba, ma-ma).
7–12 Months:
Receptive: Learns social rules (eye contact, turn-taking); understands gestures.
Expressive: Utters First Single Words (holophrases, e.g., "Milk!" to mean "Give me milk").
STAGE 3
Age 2–3 Years: Short Phrases (Telegraphic Speech)
Receptive: Follows 2-step requests (e.g., "Get the teddy and put it in the box"), understands opposite concepts (big/little, hot/cold).
Expressive: Uses 2–3 word phrases (e.g., "More milk"); vocabulary expands rapidly from 50 to 1,000 words. Asks frequent questions.

Partnership strategies (including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families)
Background ( ack knowledge about Aboriginal and Torres Islander families culture )
3 strategies
Strategy 1: The Magic Camera
Each week, one child takes home a class camera to capture 3–5 pictures of special family moments (e.g., cooking together, outdoor walks, or playing with family). On Monday, the child brings the camera back and shares the story behind each photo with the class during circle time.
Strategy 2 : Weekly Positive Moments Journal
Instead of only contacting home when issues arise, the educator writes a brief weekly note highlighting a child's progress, social interaction, or creative effort
Strategy 3 : "Special Guest" Cultural Sharing
Parents are invited into the classroom as special guests to share a job, culture, hobbies, song, or family tradition with the children
