| Workshop Full Desc | LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) training is a professional development program designed to empower educators with a deep understanding of the science behind teaching reading. This research-based training delves into the cognitive processes involved in learning to read, emphasizing the key components that are critical for literacy development, such as phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
The program is structured to help educators bridge the gap between literacy research and classroom practice. It equips teachers with evidence-based instructional strategies that address the needs of diverse learners, including struggling readers and students with learning disabilities. LETRS provides educators with the tools to effectively diagnose reading difficulties, tailor instruction to meet individual student needs, and implement interventions that lead to improved reading outcomes. Through LETRS training, teachers gain a deeper understanding of how reading develops, how to assess student progress, and how to apply differentiated instructional techniques that promote reading success for all students, from early learners to older students still mastering reading skills. It also reinforces the importance of oral language development, spelling, writing, and vocabulary as interconnected components of literacy instruction. By enhancing educators' skills and knowledge in these areas, LETRS supports long-term student achievement in reading, preparing students for academic success and lifelong learning. The training is flexible, with both in-person and online options, and can be tailored to meet the needs of individual schools or districts, making it a highly adaptable and effective solution for literacy education. |
