This short footage captures initial responses of children aged 15 months - 3 ¾ years and follows Oliver through to alphabet literacy, with final footage showing Oliver at the age of 19 months.

He has not yet learned his alphabet but is progressing well developmentally for his age. Holly: At the time of recording Holly is 3 ¾ years of age. Beyond the recommended age group however she has not seen this program previously. Holly is still in pre-school and knows her "ABC Song" but is still learning to identify letters in isolation. She can identify objects well and has strong language skills. Oliver: At the time of recording Oliver is 15 months of age (pre-talking), 17 months (pre-talking) and then 19 months (one word sentences).
