The purpose of this report is to profile the changes in phonological skills
produced by a group of 12 children between the ages of 24 and 36 months.
Conversational samples obtained from the subjects at 3-month intervals were
analysed for phonetic content, prevalent error patterns, syllable shapes and
consonant clusters produced. In addition, per cent of consonants correct
(PCC) and mean length of utterance (MLU) information is also reported.
