Answer: Is slower than what's expected for a 3-year old.

Step-by-step explanation:

A normal child between the age range from 1-3 pick words very fast, they want to pronounce every word spoken by an adult and the older they are and with the ability to read, they want to read every word they see, this helps their progress, especially when they are surrounded with those who speak and they can guide them to reading.
