It’s Time to Get Set Up on Language Boosters!

An interactive, gamified way for all pupils to reinforce classroom learning – anytime, anywhere.

As we move further into the school year, I want to send a clear message to all our Primary Languages Network schools and community: now is the time to get set up on Language Boosters.

Language Boosters is our gamified practice app designed to help pupils consolidate vocabulary, grammar, phonics and key concepts from their languages lesson. It gives children the extra practice they need, and it gives you, the teacher, clear progress tracking as they move through the curriculum.

And because it’s included at no extra cost within your Primary Languages Network membership, there has never been a better moment to start.

Below are the three big reasons your school should get set up now.

1. Admin is Now Easier Than Ever

After the first half-term of rollout, we listened to feedback and made significant improvements to the admin system — and the change has been huge.

Setting up your school on Language Boosters is now incredibly straightforward:

• No need to share student names

• Simple username + password system

• Option to create login cards with QR codes

• Pupils can take these home to practise independently

• Setup time: under 30 minutes

Schools that previously struggled have already updated us to say the new system works smoothly and is dramaticallyeasier. Any teacher can now get their whole school running quickly and confidently.

2. Powerful Progress Tracking That Keeps Getting Better

Language Boosters has proved itself to be a highly effective progress tracker — especially for:

A detailed track of every students performance on the app!

• Listening

• Reading

• Sentence-building

• Vocabulary retention

These are the exact areas where consistent practice leads to long-term gains, and the results teachers are seeing reflect that.

And there’s more coming.

In 2026, we’ll be introducing speaking activities into the app, creating a complete performance picture across all four skills. The tracking system will continue to improve, meaning the sooner you’re set up, the more data you’ll have on pupil progression over time.

3. Overlearning of Core Concepts (The Secret to Real Retention)

The new national focus on core vocabulary and understanding in primary languages makes one thing absolutely clear:

Pupils need repeated practice to truly retain what they learn.

Language Boosters is built around exactly this principle. The app goes two steps back and one step forward, giving pupils:

• Regular review of core material

• Exposure to key vocabulary over time

• Extra reinforcement of lesson content

• The chance to practise more than once a week

A single weekly lesson is great — but a lesson plus Language Boosters creates exponential improvement in performance and confidence.

This is the overlearning children need to deepen their understanding and carry their language knowledge into KS3 and beyond.

So… Why Now?

Because we’ve:

- Made the admin setup easier
- Strengthened and refined the progress-tracking system
- Designed the app to support overlearning of core vocabulary and concepts

You already have access. It’s included in your membership. And you can be up and running this week.

No more excuses — now is the moment to get Language Boosters set up for your school.

If you need help, support, or guidance, we’re here as always.
Let’s give children the extra practice they deserve — and help you show the progress they’re truly making.
