From age 3-7 years children communication and language skills develop as they grew older. They start to ask questions and use large vocabulary. There will be some words that are to difficult for them to pronounce but they will still attempt it. They will start to communicate with other children and express their self in various ways. It will also be a long process for children at the age of 5-6 years because they will be learning new words and improving their skills. ‘This is a long process requiring considerable effort to decode simple words’ (Penny Tassoni 2007: P32)
Children aged 3-7 years are much calmer and like to socialise more. They enjoy playing with other children which are the same age as them. They start to share toys and take turns. Children start to enjoy listening to nursery rhymes and sometimes they sing along.
‘Most children will also have developed one or two close friendships, and although the odd squabble may break out they have usually learned how to do some simple negotiating.’ (Penny Tassoni 2007: P32)
At the age of 5-6 years children learn to read and write and also learn maths. Children’s emotions are very delicate, this is because they can get upset and frustrated over little things. They tend to be happy around other children the same age as them. They become excited quickly and they enjoy communicating.

Reading for most children becomes easier and they don’t have to follow the words with their finger and read
