Language development is critical and young children must understand language before they can speak words. The process of language development begins with receptive language (vocabulary). The baby will respond to sounds by crying or being started by a loud sound ,recognize familiar voices by turning their head. Respond to their name . You must also name items for the baby -for example I am going to feed your bottle now . Receptive vocabulary gives the child vocabulary in preparing her to begin speaking in sentences .
Having books with mostly pictures for infants is very important to building vocabulary for young children. The books should have familiar items that the children will also see in their community or when they go on a trip :example-to the pet store or the zoo.
Having receptive language is the foundation for understanding language and the stepping stone for comprehension skills.
