How the programme is structured?

​

Our school staff (teaching assistants in Reception) deliver three small group sessions and two individual sessions to a targeted group of around 3-6 pupils for 20 weeks.

Evidence and programme development 

NELI is a Nuffield Foundation initiative and was developed by leading academics in the field of language and literacy development. The aim was to design an evidence-based early intervention programme that could be easily delivered by schools to address children’s language needs. Several robust evaluations have led to NELI being the most well-evidence early language programme available to schools in England.
