First 100 words

This is a list of some of the first words commonly learnt by young children that we use in Gems and nursery. Your child will need to hear these words lots and lots of times before they will attempt to say them. You can help to encourage your child to use them by telling them what things are around the house, modelling the words.  Ask them to find you things to help develop their understanding of the word e.g. ‘get me the ball’.
