The aim of this research was to continue the study of speech development reported in 1956. The same fifty children (twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls), representative of all elements in the community, were followed up at the age of 5 years. They were given Intelligence, Vocabulary and Language tests. Most were seen in school. Every child had made progress and this progress appears to be related to his family's occupational status and his own general intelligence. When the earlier and present ratings were compared, the correlation was positive but somewhat low. There was some evidence in the performances of the 5-year-old children tending to indicate the boys' superiority in precision and the girls' in fluency of expression, but on the whole the sex differences were small
