Age 2 to 5 (Preschool)
Children start developing longer sentences and understanding "who", "what", "where", "why", etc. They start to murmur and stutter a lot, but that because they are usually trying to say something. In their mind they know what to say but they still have trouble saying everything in words. -
Ages 5-7
