16、n gesture among twins may be mostly due to lower parental input, Ozcaliskan said. Its likely that parents caring for twins engage in shorter conversations with their children, including gesturing less, because their attention is divided and their labor is doubled.However, parents of single children

17、used a greater amount and diversity of gestures than parents of twins. Ozcaliskan said she had grown curious about gesture because it had not yet been studied among twins. We have already known that twins are initially at a disadvantage where language is concerned. Most of the time, these lags are w

Almost all children will catch up to each other by around age three and a half.“However,there was almost nothing in research on gesturing among twins, Ozcaliskan said. Babies start using pointing around 10 months, a few months before

19、 they produce their first words. Gesture helps them convey what they cant yet communicate in speech and prepares the way for childrens early words.Twins sometimes develop their own systems of communication, even their own “twin language, which has also been shown to delay language acquisition. “Perh

25、ally any grade level. However,it takes a great deal of time,effort,and know-how to put a successful SSR program into operation. I first recognized this when I was a high school teacher twenty years ago. Though some of my students were happy to be allowed to select and read books in class, many never

At the same time, another high school in our district also made the decision to offer students SSR time each day. However, having no knowledge of the five factors, th

29、e teachers simply asked their students to “read anything for fifteen minutes.The result was that the students at my school outperformed (胜过） the other school in four areas: reading comprehension, positive attitudes toward reading, frequency of after-school pleasure reading, and use of a wider range

30、of reading sources. I shared my findings with the other schools staff members. Since then, both schools have experienced the positive benefits of SSR.Today,I have given many lectures at a wide variety of schools where teachers are eager to learn “how-to methods for developing programs that will moti
