Child Report FAQs

Why does a child's report show LENA Days from before the sequence started?

The Child Report is cumulative. It shows all LENA Days the child has experienced in all LENA Grow sequences.

A child with data from before the current sequence has participated in a previous sequence.

Similarly, in reports for a closed group, any child who continued in a later sequence will show later dates.

How can I print past LENA Days?
