Early Talk = School Ready
Sign up for our school readiness webinar:
When you picture a kindergartener, what do you see?
At LENA, we see a vibrant young child framed by confidence, curiosity, and the ability to communicate and connect. How did they get there? Early talk. Our work through the first five years – focused on positive interactions in early childhood – shapes a child's readiness for school and life.
Webinar: Rethinking School Readiness
October 30, 1:00pm ET
"School readiness" often gets tangled in a web of standards and divided responsibilities. So let's simplify it. We're rethinking school readiness by focusing on the essentials: early language skills that form the bedrock of future success.
In this webinar, we'll zoom out to a bigger picture, exploring how early talk leads to school readiness. We’ll also explore how early learning and K-12 systems can collaborate better on preparing children for kindergarten. Together, we'll uncover how fostering quality conversations and better collaboration creates a clear path to positive outcomes.
What We’ll Explore:
- The many facets of school readiness: the landscape, the challenges, the opportunities.
- The new data that shows LENA Grow is equipping children with the language and social skills to meet standards and thrive in school.
- The road ahead, and how we can put all the pieces together to reimagine how early childhood educators prepare kids for school AND how schools prepare for the kids.
