how many words do kids know when they are five
At 18 months, children typically use around 50 (but we don't worry too much unless they have fewer than 10-20). At 24 months, children usually have an expressive vocabulary of 200-300 words (but we don't worry too much unless they have fewer than 50). At 3 years, children can have anywhere from 500-1,100 words in their vocabulary. By 5-7 years, children have an expressive vocabulary of 3000-5000 words.
