The NELC team have developed a set of key messages for supporting early language and communication from pre-birth to age 5. These messages have been developed based on the evidence around what works and have been tested with parents and carers. The NELC team have worked closely with a number of national partners to start to embed these key messages within already existing national supports, e.g. Book Bug and PEEP.
You will find the key messages below, along with printable posters and some information on the evidence and research around these messages.
These messages are also available on the Parent Club website here.
