My son just celebrated his 3 yo birthday about a month ago. We were delighted that he started reciting A-Z and 1 - 10 just before he turned 3. We were getting concern because he was still monosyllabic until the weeks approaching 3 yo.


He loves music and watches a lot of Sesame's Street and Elmo. Furthermore, his school teaches him the letters of the alphabet using music and repetition in a rhythm. I find the Sesame's Street Alphabet with Star and Numbers very, very useful because of the very interesting (also nostalgic!) graphics and catchy songs!

At home, we bought for him those wooden alphabet puzzle and 1-10 number puzzle from The Learning Journey to play around. So before he can verbalize, he can recognize the letters via playing the puzzle. One fine day, he just pointed at the letters and numbers and recited almost perfectly (almost because he cannot remember to say \"n\" after \"m\" and could not pronounce \"seven\" accurately).

But at this point he is still not \"conversational\". He starts to remember spelling like \"duck\" saying \"D, U, C, K\" Duck! using another wooden puzzle I bought from Toys R Rus (\"Melissa & Doug\" meant for 4 yo). Those with pictures and words besides it. He started to recognize that a clock consist of all the numbers 1 to 10 and he try to say \"eleven\" and \"twelve\". He has difficulty saying \"thirteen\" to \"seventeen\" but can say \"eighteen, nineteen, twenty!\".

So I believe he will get there with his learning. But at the moment, I am still waiting for the day he can say something \"conversational\" like \"Mummy I want to eat\" or something like that...

Thanks jedamum for the encouragement!
Yes, am waiting for the day, and the toilet-training too!

Sometimes I can't help thinking whether is it our society is too advanced such that at 2.5 yo not yet speaking, it is already considered a speech delay? My maid told me in her kampung, nobody bothers even if a kid does not speak much by 4 yo! And yet I believe most grow up and develop normally after that.

I find that this milestone tracking may have caused unnecessary panic and action taken may not be good for the kid. How nice to be able to be a relaxed mama and to take everything in her strides and not to panic at the slightest delay and/or comments from teachers, friends etc.

Hey DesertWind,



You'll 'see the day soon' enough

One step at a time, ok? Don't get too caught up in the tracking of milestones. Its just a rough guide, not cast in stone (personal take).

My own nephew started speaking formally when he was past 3.5 yrs.

My girl used to speak 2 - 3 word sentence. I was abit worried as other kids of her age already speaking in full sentences. But ever since she started pre-nursery she starts to talk quite alot more. Now she can even talk back and talk like the way I talk. She will be 3.5 yo this month, have a feeling that my girl has grown up.

Now I'm teaching her spelling, starting from number spelling. Not sure is it too early to do that.

I think if it is learnt as a song it is surely not too early and plus it's fun!

Number Song (Tune of Are You Sleeping?)
O-N-E 1, O-N-E 1,
Number 1, number 1,
T-W-O 2, T-W-O 2,
Number 2, number 2
TH-R-EE 3, TH-R-EE 3,
Number 3, Number 3,
...
...
...

Can add on the numbers gradually...
