“When we had our LENA Days, I was more intentional about making sure I was talking to all of my children. It has helped me be more intentional with asking children questions and keeping up conversations later on. Since doing LENA in March and enjoying it so much, I even signed up to do it again this year with a new group of students to keep being intentional."

Aleena Reyes, Ark Academy Preschool

“I love LENA. This is my second round, and I love it. Especially if I could do it every time I get a new set of students, I would love that, because it gave you real-time data of what is going on in your classroom — how many kids are communicating with me during circle time, or who I need to pay more attention to. I loved it.”
