FREE: First Words Tracker for Toddlers (Printable)
A free printable for recording the early words you notice your toddler using.
The tracker includes 50 familiar everyday words as a convenient starting list, plus space to record other words and communication that matter in your child's real life.
Inside the tracker
- 50 familiar words organized by category
- A simple check-off format for noticing words over time
- Space to add words from your own family, culture, and languages
- Notes on what can count as a meaningful word in everyday communication
- Questions you may want to bring to a qualified professional if communication concerns you
Fifty words is not a pass-fail threshold, and this tracker is not the checklist a speech-language professional would use to diagnose an individual child. Gestures, signs, understanding, interaction, hearing, multiple languages, and the child's broader communication all matter too.
Price: Free.
