Without strong language skills, students struggle to read, learn, and form friendships.
With 1 in 14 students in the United States having a voice, speech, or language disorder, it’s more important than ever to identify and address language needs to ensure no student is left behind.
Rooted in world-class research from the University of Oxford, our language assessment and intervention tools bring proven strategies into the classroom so early years educators can create brighter futures for every student.
Oral language is the foundation of student success. It’s key to reading, writing, communicating, and forming friendships.
Yet many students are facing language delays. Without strong oral language, students will struggle academically and socially – and risk being left behind.
The good news: early intervention is proven to improve long-term literacy outcomes.
This whitepaper explores the key research behind why oral language is central to reading and well-being, as well as strategies for assessing and promoting language development in early education.
Join this webinar to explore why speaking and listening skills are critical for reading success and how summer school and Extended School Year programs can be used to strengthen these foundations.
The International Dyslexia Association has honored Dr Charles Hulme with their highest award for his groundbreaking research linking language and reading.
We're honored that the TEL Ted Program has won a Tech & Learning Award of Excellence in the Primary Education category.
Our oral language program provides a comprehensive package of assessment, training, whole class instruction and targeted intervention, supporting language development in early childhood and elementary schools.
Our assessments provide an accurate and reliable way to easily assess children, track the progress of students' skills, and identify those who would benefit from interventions or specialist support.
“The one thing I want to emphasize is how important early language screening and intervention is. I think it often gets overlooked when we're talking about literacy. And the more we have as a district delved in to looking at, language and the language component of literacy, we realized how much we were missing. It's really important that districts, especially with younger learners, start looking at language immediately. Because there are so many early gaps you can close that will support students continuing through their education.”
