This 10-week community-based program is designed to help families learn how to increase conversations with their children during the first few years of their life. 

LENA Start uses a “talk pedometer” also known as a small wearable device that is combined with cloud-based software to measure your child’s language environment.

Within this program, families are introduced to the 14 Talking Tips and an engaging, curriculum to increase language and literacy.  The group meets weekly on zoom from noon – 1pm.  On top of that, every week families must stop by Waimanalo Public Library (Thursdays after storytime) to turn in their device, receive their “talk data” and pick up a charged device.

Topics for the Ten Weeks:

1. Introduction to LENA Start
2. Introduction to the 14 Talking Tips
3. Shared Reading
4. Songs and Rhymes
5. Language of Food
6. Math Tallk
7. More about your child’s brain
8. Asking Questions
9. Out and About
10. Graduation Celebration

On Zoom @ 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM for 10 weeks

Starting on: September 24, 2024
