| NLS materials for EAL pupils |
|
Early in 2000, the National Centre for Literacy and Numeracy produced a video and other materials suggesting how to adapt aspects of the NLS for EAL pupils, although publication of these was limited to LEA advisers and other specialists. However, the Centre does plan to produce materials for use by individual schools with EAL pupils in due course.
