Document Summary

Phonological development is the ability to attend to sound sequences: produce sounds and combine them to understand words/phrases. Phonological development is completed by age 5. Phonological strategies simply the pronunciation of adult words: examples, delete unstressed syllable, banana becomes nana", replace hissing sounds with stop constant sounds, sea becomes tea say becomes tay. Semantic development is the development of words and their meanings. Children say their first word at 12 months. Children know 10,000 words by age 6. Fast mapping: rapid connection of new words to meanings, cannot consider all meanings for new words, improves with age. Under-extension: define words too narrowly, ex: cat for family pet, but not applying it to other cats. Over-extension: define words too broadly, ex. calling all vehicles cars. Word coinage: create new words for unknown words, ex. plant man for gardener. Metaphors: use concrete, sensory comparisons, ex. stomach ache = fire engine in my tummy.
