LENA Grow and Early Literacy

Positive Interactions, Powerful Impact 

Did you know that the path to reading success begins before a child picks up their first book? Language development starts before a baby says their first word. And writing skills begin before one crayon, marker, or pencil is ever used. It’s true!

The conversations we have with young children today shape how well they’ll read, write, and speak tomorrow.

In this paper, you’ll learn:

  • How early conversations build the brain pathways for language and literacy
  • Real examples of teachers boosting children’s communication skills
  • Evidence-based strategies that work in any early childhood classroom setting
