The Nuffield Early Language Intervention (Neli) programme is associated with lasting improvements in children's language and reading skills
BACKGROUND: Oral language skills are a critical foundation for education and psychosocial development. Learning to read, in particular, depends heavily on oral language skills. The Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) has been shown to improve the language of 4-5-year-old children entering school with language weaknesses in four robust trials. To date, however, there is limited evidence on the durability of the gains produced by the interv…
Oral language enrichment in preschool improves children's language skills
BACKGROUND: Oral language skills provide the foundation for formal education, yet many children enter school with language weaknesses. This study evaluated the efficacy of a new language enrichment programme, the Nuffield Early Language Intervention-Preschool (NELI Preschool), delivered to children in the year before they enter formal education. METHODS: We conducted a preregistered cluster randomised controlled trial in 65 nursery schools in Eng…
Delivering language intervention at scale
Background There is now substantial evidence that language interventions delivered to small groups can be effective for improving language skills and hence strengthening the foundation for formal schooling. However, there are remaining challenges when delivering such interventions in naturalistic environments at scale. Method We reflect on three randomised trials designed to evaluate the impact of an early years language programme, prior to the i…
Early language intervention improves behavioral adjustment in school
Early language screening and intervention can be delivered successfully at scale
BACKGROUND: It is well established that oral language skills provide a critical foundation for formal education. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) programme in ameliorating language difficulties in the first year of school when delivered at scale. METHODS: We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 193 primary schools (containing 238 Reception classrooms). Schools were rando…
Is a procedural learning deficit a causal risk factor for developmental language disorder or dyslexia? A meta-analytic review
63). Possible reasons for the discrepancy in results from different tasks that all purportedly measure procedural learning are highlighted. We conclude that current data do not provide an adequate test of the theory that a generalized procedural learning deficit is a causal risk factor for developmental dyslexia or developmental language disorder.
