Description

Children who enter school with good language skills have better chances in school, better chances of entering higher education and better economic success in adulthood. The UK's most disadvantaged children can be as many as 19 months behind their more affluent peers in vocabulary development on school entryBoosting language and communicative development in the early years is key to improving these children's life chances. LuCiD is working to transform understanding of how children learn to communicate with language, to provide parents, practitioners and policy-makers with the information, advice and technologies they need to support children's language development.

We have produced a number of free resources on child language development for parents and people working with young children.
