摘要

Language is a prerequisite for learning to communicate effectively and learning to read. Children learn language through interactions with caregivers and others. Since its founding, the Juniper Garden Children’s Project (JGCP) has researched language acquisition as an intervention target in young children. This contribution to the special issue discusses two major contributions that emerged in the years after the founding of JGCP: interventions for young children and understanding the social determinants of language that are nested in the earliest interactions infants have with their caregivers. JGCP’s accomplishments in these areas and their implications are discussed.
