LUCID

Children who enter school with good language skills have better chances in school, better chances of entering higher education and better economic success in adulthood 1. The UK's most disadvantaged children can be as many as 19 months behind their more affluent peers in vocabulary development on school entry 2. Boosting language and communicative development in the early years is key to improving these children's life chances. LuCiD is working to transform understanding of how children learn to communicate with language, to provide parents, practitioners and policy-makers with the information, advice and technologies they need to support children's language development... The ESRC International Centre for Language and Communicative Development (LuCiD) is a research collaboration working with partners from across the world to transform our understanding of how children learn to communicate with language.
