LETRS provides teachers with the tools and understanding to teach the essential skills needed for literacy. LETRS is NOT a program. Teachers learn the "science of reading," so they are able to apply research-based application into their classroom, no matter the curriculum or program.

LETRS Training continues with Units 5-8. These units focus specifically on oral language and vocabulary, understanding reading comprehension, text-driven comprehension instruction, and the reading-writing connection.

The Launch will be an afternoon training where participants will take a pre-test and receive their first assignment.
The trainings will be a mixture of four face-to-face learning sessions through structured modules PLUS four units of on-line tutorials/videos (through Voyager Sopris) which include examples of effective classroom instruction. Teachers will be asked to apply the information on chosen students.

This workshop series is appropriate for K-6, Title, & SpEd Teachers or Interventionists, & Admin who have completed LETRS-Vol 1.
