Frequently asked questions
Talk Boost is a catch-up programme for children who are behind with talking and understanding words to boost their language skills. Differentiated for children between the ages of 3-10 years, the programme aims to accelerate children’s progress in language skills by an average of six months, after a nine-week intervention.
In addition, all of our programmes can also be used to demonstrate to Ofsted how you are focusing on developing staff skills.

We have developed a brand-new programme trackers tool for Talk Boost.

The new tracker will provide a better user experience, enhanced reporting, and the option for organisations to get aggregate data from multiple schools.
