Toddlers in this age group may look at books alone. They point to objects in picture books and say the words out loud. Toddlers may repeat some of the text of a familiar book in their own words. This shows that the toddler understands the meaning of the text, even if the words are not repeated exactly as written. If a toddler is very familiar with a story, the adult reader can pause to let the child say the ending of the sentence.
Many toddlers also recognize the signs and logos for favorite restaurants and foods.
