What words should a 3 year old know?

By the age of 3, most children have a vocabulary of around 300 to 1000 words, and they are able to understand and use more complex language structures than they did as toddlers. However, it’s important to remember that every child develops at their own pace, and some may have a larger or smaller vocabulary than others at this age.

Here are some common words and phrases that many 3-year-olds are able to understand and use:

• Basic nouns, such as “dog,” “ball,” and “banana”
• Verbs, such as “run,” “jump,” and “eat”
• Adjectives, such as “big,” “little,” and “happy”
• Pronouns, such as “I,” “you,” and “he/she”
• Prepositions, such as “in,” “on,” and “under”
• Colors, such as “red,” “blue,” and “green”
• Numbers up to 10 or higher
• Basic phrases and sentences, such as “I want juice,” “Where is my toy?”, or “Can I have a cookie?”

It’s important to continue exposing your child to a wide variety of words and language structures in their everyday environment. You can read books together, talk about what you see and do, and encourage your child to ask questions and express themselves in their own words. Remember to be patient and supportive as your child continues to develop their language skills, and don’t hesitate to talk to a pediatrician or speech therapist if you have concerns about their language development.
