“By making the most of this time, we can build the foundational skills that empower children to thrive in kindergarten and beyond. Just as the science of reading is transforming K-12 classrooms, equipping early educators with an understanding of the vital role that their daily activities play in boosting early language and literacy skills will lead to more effective early learning settings."
“The state of Indiana is doing incredible work to align its early learning standards to the latest research on early education practices and child development, and LENA is poised to make groundbreaking contributions. We envision our wealth of data on teacher-child interaction immediately benefitting on-the-ground practice and ultimately informing systemic policy decisions to ensure that children from birth to age five experience the highest quality early childhood education possible.”
Whether you're with a library, school district, CCR&R, state agency, university-community partnership, public health initiative, or any other organization dedicated to improving early childhood outcomes, we invite you to learn more about bringing LENA to your community.
