CU1537 – Support Children’s speech, language and communication.
Understand the importance of speech, language and communication for children’s overall development.
1.1
Language: Language is made up of sounds, symbols and signs, these are used between people to understand and even make a convocation between them. Linguists suggest that there is a series of rules that adults/children have to understand and use, once the users master their language skills they can transfer anything they like. Children are not able to understand/use these rules correctly, its starts from toddlers communicating by pointing at an object and saying a single word as to what it is or what they would like, after they learn this they then start to construct sentences. E.g. saying ‘’drink‘’ into saying ‘’can I have a drink?’’
As early as six weeks a baby will start to communicate by making a ‘cooing’ noise, this is to show pleasure. Babies will them go on to start babbling (learning the tune before the words) this is between the ages of six to nine months. Babies will make a large variety of sounds during this point of time this even includes deaf babies. They will begin to make the tuneful sounds by putting vowels and consonants together.
Between the ages of nine to ten months babies begin to make sounds also known as babbling, but at this time these sounds are limited, the noises (babbles) the baby makes are reflecting the language that the baby is hearing from their surroundings. Babies at the age of ten months can also understand at least seventeen or more words. Babies will have learned how to gain an adults attention at this time too, they will do this by pointing and raising their voices. Babies will read facial expression to help them understand further what is being said to them by an adult. Babies start moving on from the babble, onto an extended babble also called ‘Echolalia’ it has no meaning to it, and it is just repetition of sounds made by another person. This is the step
