LETRS provides teachers with the tools and understanding to teach the essential skills needed for literacy. LETRS is NOT a program.

The team uses information from the FBA to develop and implement a BIP. To conduct effective behavioral observations, teams identify feasible methods of behavior recording and develop graphs that will allow for efficient progress monitoring. Data decision rules are also established for determining when to continue, modify, intensify, or fade the BIP. The team provides Professional Learning to ensure all school staff understand the Tier 3 system, their role in providing data for the FBA, implementation of the BIP, and use appropriate techniques to promote generalization of skills across multiple settings. A system for communicating with and involving families is also developed.

Aligning instruction with the "science of reading” gives students the best chance of becoming successful readers. Regardless of any textbooks or instructional materials used, if the teacher does not have the knowledge of evidence-based practices and standards, students will not acquire what is needed to learn.

Instruction is a mixture of face-to-face learning sessions through structured modules PLUS four units of online videos including examples of effective classroom instruction. Teachers are expected to apply the information, reflect, and record outcomes.

Participants are expected to attend all the dates of this workshop.

For DESE to purchase materials in time for this training, participants will need to be registered with DESE prior to July 3 using this link: LETRS® Training for K-5 Educators (2024-25) Participants will receive their manuals and online course access at the first session.
