Child Word Count

Word & Gesture Percentiles

Using the tool below you can enter your child’s age in months and number of words & gestures they understand or produce and see what percentile they fall into.

If you’re unsure what is considered a word, refer to this post.

For a months old, your little one is percentile.

Remember that words are only one way that children use to communicate and it's important to watch for things like eye contact and gestures while working on their language development. To discuss your child's development, book a complimentary 15-min call with one of our registered speech-language pathologist who will be happy to help.
