I've been teaching a 3 year old for 10 weeks. We do an hour and a half each week. I don't have previous experience with such a young learner and was wondering if those of you who've taught pre-school children could give me an idea of how much I should move beyond just teaching vocabulary.

So far we've done colours, numbers, animals, etc... He can also respond to certain instructional language and questions. Do you think I should try getting him to learn to say phrases such as "I like..." / "It is a..." / "I've got a...", or would you say just vocabulary is sufficient?

What would you expect by Christmas or the end of the year from a child this age?

Thanks!
