There are three primary components of the NELI programme:
This is a quick guide to getting started with all three.
LanguageScreen is the quickest and most accurate way to assess children’s language skills and is the best way to identify those who would benefit from NELI, as well as other specialist support. The videos below guide you through assessing your pupils. More detailed information is found in the FAQs. The LanguageScreen app is free to download from the Apple app store and Google app store.

NELI training is made of three online courses and a support hub. More details on the specific training courses can be found here.
The staff delivering the NELI programme to pupils need to complete all three NELI courses. The class teachers are required to complete Course 1, so that they can support the staff delivering the NELI intervention. The Support Hub provides a place for you to connect with other NELI practitioners and receive ongoing support throughout your NELI delivery.
You can register staff for the NELI training via your school’s account on the OxEd & Assessment Portal or by contacting our Support Team.
NELI includes a comprehensive pack of physical resources to support with delivering the programme. Details can be found here.
If this is your first year delivering NELI, you will need to cut up your resources and separate each session into its own labelled folder or wallet. This will ensure you can quickly access everything you need for a session. If you have delivered NELI before, take a moment to ensure all your resources are in their correct folder or wallet before you begin delivery.
You are now ready to begin your NELI Group and Individual sessions. You can find a detailed step-by-step guide to the first few days and weeks to help you get into the rhythm of the NELI Programme here. Our Support Team are also on hand to support you every step of the way.
In the Part 1 Teaching Handbook (p.26), there’s a list of the materials you’ll need for all of your NELI sessions. This includes the posters and extra items such as glue or sticky tack.
If you ever need to replace elements of your resource packs, such as new Best Listener badges or Ted’s Listening Rules posters, these can be downloaded here.
Once you have completed these 3 essential steps, you are ready to begin your NELI delivery. You can find a detailed step-by-step guide to the first few days and weeks of the NELI programme, to help get you in the swing of things.
