Empowering teachers and administrators to improve student literacy through evidence-based professional learning
The Delaware Department of Education is committed to supporting educators through quality reading instruction. The Delaware Lexia LETRS® Science of Reading Professional Learning Courses will provide sustained and job-embedded professional learning about the science of reading, at no cost to educators and administrators. These impactful courses will be based on Lexia’s LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) literacy professional learning. Teacher participation is voluntary. Any Delaware pre-K–3 educator currently teaching in any Delaware public school or public charter school is encouraged to apply.
Note: Delaware LETRS courses support professional learning around the science of reading and provide an excellent opportunity to build background knowledge in literacy. Educators in the state of Delaware will receive clock hours in PDMS for successful completion of the courses. While educators may enroll in these professional development courses, they are not graduate-level courses and cannot be used for certification nor for graduate salary increments.

What is LETRS?
Developed by Dr. Louisa Moats and leaders in the field of literacy, LETRS teaches the skills needed to master the foundation and fundamentals of reading and writing instruction—phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and written language.
LETRS professional learning for elementary educators is an investment in teachers’ literacy knowledge and professional practice. Teachers gain essential knowledge to master the fundamentals of literacy instruction required to transform student learning.
LETRS® for Early Childhood Educators professional learning provides deep knowledge of literacy instruction for the youngest learners. The more children know about language and literacy before they begin kindergarten and first grade, the better equipped they are to succeed in literacy learning and beyond.
LETRS® for Administrators equips instructional leaders to create systems and structures in their schools and districts to achieve high levels of academic performance and growth in literacy.

I definitely recommend LETRS to any elementary teacher of reading because it has provided a very organized and relevant summary of all of the important components of literacy. I have been able to apply many of the strategies and techniques in my practice, and it has given me a stronger lens through which to evaluate and enhance my current practices and district programs. I now feel confident in my ability to take the materials that I have and tweak them to be more appropriate with regard to what we now know about the science of reading.

LETRS training provided me with valuable information and practical teaching strategies and resources directly related to my work as a reading specialist. I know I am better qualified to help my students develop the skills they need to become more proficient readers, plus, I feel confident in my ability to identify and address specific areas of need. Although it is a bit of a time commitment, the training is worthwhile and can be done on your own time. The modules were easy to navigate, and the in-person sessions provided opportunities to chat with other like-minded professionals in the state.

“Teachers are the most important factor in student success. Informed teachers can explain language to students, including sounds, spellings, and word meanings that might be confusing. They use lessons based on reading science and understand the process of learning to read and write. Research proves it. Science matters.”
