LETRS for Early Childhood Educators is a professional learning experience for pre-K and Kindergarten teachers that provides deep knowledge of early literacy instruction. Teachers gain new skills to help young learners build a literacy foundation before they even learn to read or write.

This professional learning experience:
Helps teachers understand the development of oral language, print knowledge, alphabet learning, and writing skills.
Provides the "why” and "how” of early literacy instruction across all domains: language, literacy, cognitive, motor, social, and emotional.
Empowers teachers to apply best practice strategies to guide children's learning.

This dynamic blended learning experience includes three components:
LETRS Online Learning Platform
LETRS for Early Childhood Educators Print Manual
LETRS for Early Childhood Educators Professional Learning Sessions (Live In-Person or Live Online)

During the LETRS for Early Childhood Educators course of study, you'll watch videos of expert teaching, complete activities to reinforce concepts, and have opportunities to apply what you're studying with young learners.
