What does Early Talk Boost include?
There are two parts to Early Talk Boost.
The first is Early Talk Boost training delivered by our regional team of Licensed Tutors. The training is for early years practitioners working with groups of 3-4 year olds in early years settings. Participants will develop the skills and knowledge to understand the rationale behind Early Talk Boost, identify appropriate children, measure their progress and deliver the intervention successfully.
The second is the Early Talk Boost Intervention Pack. The pack includes everything you need to run the intervention. Specifically, the pack includes:
- The Early Talk Boost Intervention Manual containing detailed group session plans and required resources
- 10 Jake & Tizzy Complete Sets (Titles 1-8) that have been specifically designed and written for the intervention
- Early Talk Boost Participant Book
- Tool Bag including all of the resources needed for intervention activities
- Access to the Online Tracker where progress can be monitored to support Pupil Premium
Impact Statement
“We find that the intervention enables the children to improve their attention and listening as they are working in a small group with visual aids. The children respond really well to the characters of Jake and Tizzy and love following instructions from the Tizzy puppet! We also find that the intervention teaches the children new vocabulary that has been modelled by an adult. The intervention also supports the children to build sentences and structure them correctly. We find that the inclusion of songs and rhymes and a story each session engages the children and can be reinforced at home by parents.”
