Speaking

Speaking is the most important skill without which children cannot express their thoughts, fears and other problems with others. Speaking is the base of everything because if a person cannot speak then children will be unable to listen their thought and understand because they speaking by imitating others. 

Saying words

Here, they will be able to greet others, learn to say Mumma, Papa etcetera, try to tell others about things like ball. Even if they don't know about the exact meanings but still they try to say such words.

Making sentences

  1. Family can teach them by making sentences, children just try to imitate others with short sentences even with the sound and pronouncing some words  wrongly.
  2. Children can learn while giving some short answers to questions like " what is your name? " Here they don't know about any grammar rule but they understand that after using this sentence, others will tell their name.

Storytelling

By telling stories is also the good way to improve their speaking ability.  For example, when I was a child I used to listen stories from my parents and grandparents and have understanding that when someone is sad, they use low pitch and in aggression they use high tone. With this I sometime cry intentionally to say about some things which i wanted.
