• follow simple two part instructions (e.g.‘give me the ball and the car’)
• respond to simple wh-questions, such as ‘what’ and ‘where’
• point to several body parts and pictures in books when named
• understand when an object is ‘in’ and ‘on’ something
• say more than 50 single words
• put two words together (e.g. ‘bye teddy’, ‘no ball’)
• use their tone of voice to ask a question (e.g. ‘teddy go?’)
• say ‘no’ when they do not want something
• use most vowel sounds and a variety of consonants (m, n, p, b, k, g, h, w, t, d)
