Ex: babies/toddlers mumbling words like mama
or dada (basically baby talk)
- allow child to listen to songs to correct
mumbling / pronunciations
- listen to alphabet songs Parents must correct
this stage to develop
- learning how to speak through mumbling

language of his/her environment by starting to
speak incomprehensible words
- can already sing the letters of the alphabet
