HELLO (Helping Early Literacy and Language Outcomes) will aim to boost the literacy of under-threes by increasing knowledge and confidence among early years practitioners of how children develop their language and communication skills, and ways in which they can support this inside and outside the setting.
Early Years Foundation Stage data shows nationally that literacy is the area of early years development with the lowest proportion of children achieving at least the expected level.
The tool is being developed by the National Literacy Trust in partnership with Middlesbrough Council and Reading Borough Council, along with five nursery teaching schools across England, with funding from the Department for Education.
