What is LETRS?

The LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) Suite provides a thorough educational platform aimed at giving teachers and administrators a profound insight into literacy and language, ensuring their expertise in the science of reading. Developed by notable literacy experts Dr. Louisa Moats, Dr. Carol Tolman, and Dr. Lucy Hart Paulson, this program acts as a flexible professional development tool suitable for both educators and school leaders. LETRS emphasizes the critical skills needed for effective reading instruction, encompassing phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and language skills. Research shows that while only 35% of students are currently reading at grade level, a remarkable 95% can become proficient readers with the right instruction. It is also important to note that educators are central to student success; nevertheless, nearly half of teacher training programs fall short in adequately preparing teachers for successful literacy instruction. A deep understanding of the scientific principles and processes related to reading instruction is essential for teachers to effectively promote literacy. Consequently, improving teacher training in these fundamental areas is imperative for enhancing literacy rates among students. This approach not only benefits individual learners but also contributes to raising the overall educational standards within the community.
