Wellcomm Toolkit

Wellcomm is a speech and language toolkit that is designed to assess children’s speech and language skills. It is used mainly in the Early Years Foundation Stage but can be used in Key Stage 1.  This toolkit assesses the language that the child understands and the vocabulary that the child uses. There is also Wellcomm Primary that is used for Key Stages 1 and 2.  This assesses understanding, grammar, vocabulary, narrative and social skills.

The toolkit consists of a handbook, the Little Book of Scores and Rules, the Big Book of Ideas, a bag of appropriate toys, and a picture book. This is all supported by helpful short videos and an online Wellcomm wizard which helps calculate scores and produce reports.

Wellcomm Primary is a primary language toolkit designed to support children with their speech and language.  There are 4 sections in Wellcomm Primary, starting from 6 years of age to 11 years of age. This assesses understanding, grammar, vocabulary, narrative, and social skills.  Within the Wellcomm Primary toolkit, there is the Wellcomm Handbook, The Little Book of Score Sheets and Rules, The Picture Book, and The Big Book of Ideas.

The toolkit uses a traffic light system that identifies children requiring immediate intervention, as well as those who show potential language difficulties. The system bands children by placing them into one of three categories:

Red: Consider referral to a specialist service for further advice/assessment

Amber: Extra support and intervention required

Green: No intervention currently required
