LanguageScreen

LanguageScreen is a language assessment tool designed for children aged 3 to 11. It provides a quick, accurate, and objective method for assessing children’s language ability and identifies children who may benefit from additional targeted intervention support. Using LanguageScreen at the start and the end of the NELI Preschool programme will provide you with a reliable measure of the progress children have made in developing their language skills. LanguageScreen can be administered by anyone in the setting without prior training, and it only takes around 10 minutes per child.

The OxEd & Assessment website provides details and videos on how to prepare for and complete the assessments.

Digital Resources Library

The Digital Resources Library provides fully guided delivery materials for each week of the programme including Whole Group session slides, song files, continuous provision ideas, and newsletters for parents and caregivers.

We recommend displaying the Whole Group slides on a large screen — for example, a laptop connected to an interactive whiteboard, a TV screen, or a projector. Please contact the NELI Preschool Team if you need guidance or support with your setup.

Delivery Support Hub

The Delivery Support Hub (accessed through the FutureLearn platform), provides guided support and practical tips for each of the 20 books in the NELI Preschool programme. The Hub is supported by experienced mentors from the NELI Preschool team, who are available to answer questions and provide advice throughout the programme.
