Abstract
The article analyses the reasons for differences in the speech of similarly aged children. Four main group factors affecting children's speech development are considered: their belonging to the group of referential / expressive children; being boys / girls; coming from families with a high or low sociocultural status; existence of older siblings. It is concluded that teachers should consider these factors in their work.
