Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Language comprehension is the ability to understand the different elements of spoken or written language, like the meaning of words and how words are put together to form sentences. Language comprehension is one of the building blocks of reading comprehension.

Detailed explanation-2: -As part of language development, your child will begin to use two-word sentences at around two years. By age three, they’ll be able to use sentences with three or more words – for example, ‘Mummy get in car’ or ‘Me go too’. You’ll start to hear grammar and more structured sentences.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fast processing speed was a positive predictor of subsequent vocabulary growth, but only for children with smaller vocabularies. Faster processing speed did, however, predict faster syntactic growth across the whole sample, even when controlling for concurrent vocabulary.

Detailed explanation-4: -One important language skill, language comprehension, measures what a child understands. For example, measuring how well a child can understand what people are saying to them or how well they can understand what is happening in a story they are reading.
