HOW SPEECH DEVELOPS—
By Doris Y. Genereaux

The one-year-old usually has
about two or three words which he
clearly associates with a person or
object. At 18 months, this increases
to approximately 10 or 20 words.
By his second birthday, the child
usually achieves the 100-word mark
and by his third birthday, a few
hundred words.
Up until 18 months, one word im
plies a whole sentence or an entire
situation. Bottle, which will prob
ably come out as “babble” until the
child can master the “t” sound,
may mean, “I’m hungry,” or “I’m
not through with my milk, give it
back.” Although “bow wow” refers
to the dog, it may also mean,
“where is he?” or “I love him,” or
“there he is,” or any other thought
about the pet.
At two years, the child puts
words together. He may say,
“Bobby go” or “me go.” It is in his
third and fourth year that the child
graduates to simple four and five
word sentences.
Mastery of sound, like all other
aspects of language development,
is up to the individual child. Gen
erally, however, parents can expect
their child to pronounce the letters
p. b, m, w and h at three and one
half years. A year later, he will
work with d, t, n, g, ing and y. At
five and one-half he should master
the difficult f and v, and at six
and one-half to seven and one-half,
s, sh, z, th, 1 and r.
The timetable for the mastery
of sounds is not a rigid one. Many
factors are involved. For example:
A child who is vigorous and ener
getic will learn through concrete
experience.
Parents who can provide their
children with toys and books offer
a richer learning environment.
Girls tend to learn faster than
boys. Playing with dolls and play
ing house promotes more speech
than do boys’ games where imitat
ing mechanical sounds take prece
dence.
Well-adjusted parents tend to
have well-adjusted children. They
take time to answer a child’s ques
tions, look through picture books
with him and read bedtime stories
to him.
An overanxious parent may act
ually impede a child’s normal pro

cess of spfeech learning. Talking
to a child is beneficial but the par
ent should let the child absorb
words at his own pace. If a child
mispronounces a word, the parent
should softly repeat the word cor
rectly, after him. When the child
is ready to work with the new
sound, he will be happy to accept
the correction.

CHIEF AVIATION ORDNANCEMAN THOMAS A. WELLS,
USN, climbs down from the cockpit of a Navy training plane after
flying the aircraft from Seattle to Kodiak for delivery to the Kodiak
Navy Flying Club.
Flying Club
Has Own
Training Plane
The arrival here last week of a
U. S. Navy T-34 training plane has
bolstered the facilities of the lo
cally-sponsored Kodiak Navy Fly
ing Club.
The airplane was loaned to the
club through the Navy’s Bureau of
Weapons for use by military, civil
service, and dependent personnel
who are club members. The club is
privately operated by its members
and receives no financial support
from the Navy.
The club, which now has 29 mem
bers, was organized to afford off
duty flying for interested person
nel. Until the arrival of the T-34,
a Piper J-3 was the only aircraft
in use by the club.
Several members are flyers.
Others learn under the guidance of
George Austin, an FAA-approved
instructor, who is always available.
According to Mr. Austin, a be
ginner with no previous training
would require an average of 10
flight hours to solo in the airplane.
Before joining the Piper J-3 for
scheduled training flights, the T-34
will be painted and undergo minor
conversion to meet FAA standards.
At presen/t, the flying club is
sponsoring a membership drive
and welcomes inquiries and appli
cations from interested parties. Ad
dress of the Kodiak Navy Flying
Club is Box 73, Naval Station,
Kodiak.
