Abstract
⺠We examine gestural development of preterm and full term children in the second year. ⺠The amount and type of gestures produced are similar in the groups. ⺠However preterm children exhibit poor amounts of gesture-plus-word utterances. ⺠Pointing and gesture-word combinations predict later language skills in preterms. ⺠A subgroup of at risk preterm children shows an enduring use of gestures.
