20.  The problem: Early interventions implemented during the 1960’s war on poverty washed out early and completely as children aged.

21.  The intervention: Vocabulary could be easily increased by educators by teaching them new words.

22.  The results: There was fast vocabulary growth by children in professional families. There was vocabulary growth in the lower SES population.

23.  The plan: Rather than concede to the inevitable forces of heredity, the group decided to undertake the process of research which would allow educators to understand the trajectories observed.

24.  The findings: Before children can take charge of their own experience and begin to spend time with peers in social groups outside the home, almost everything they learn comes from their families.

25.  The similarities: Children grew more like their parents in stature, activity levels, vocabulary resources, language, and interaction styles.
