At 4 years children can usually…

• answer most questions about daily tasks
• understand most wh-questions, including those about a story they have recently heard
• understand some numbers
• show an awareness that some words start or finish with the same sounds.
• use words, such as ‘and’, ‘but’ and ‘because’, to make longer sentences
• describe recent events, such as morning routines
• ask lots of questions
• use personal pronouns (e.g., he/ she, me/you) and negations (e.g., don’t/can’t)
• count to five and name a few colours
