What is LENA Grow?

LENA Grow is a professional development program that helps teachers support your child’s learning by measuring and increasing interactions.

Increased interaction helps your child:

  • Learn more words, which leads to later literacy
  • Understand and manage feelings, which leads to improved behavior
  • Get ready for kindergarten

How It Works

GrowFamilies_Child

Once a week, children wear a small, safe device that captures classroom interactions.

GrowFamilies_SoftwareCounts

Automated software counts how many words and conversations happen.

Teachers use this information to help improve learning for your child.

It gave me tools that helped me grow as an educator. I became more cognizant of what I was saying and the impact that my interactions had on my children's vocabulary.
