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.
(Note: NHED is offering the Guided Learning Implementation Model.)

Encouraging children to have a healthy passion for reading will help them excel in school, support other areas of their learning, and set them up for future success. Strong literacy skills are vital for children, and are skills that are applicable throughout their entire lifetimes.
Carol Tolman, Ed. D.
Well-informed with a penchant for high standards and a conviction for all students' success, Ms. Cote continually led her young scholars to high levels of literacy achievement. For many, including me, she singlehandedly set in motion the love of reading, writing, and the exploration of all learning. Informed teachers have this precise superpower: The ability to shape our futures, creating endless opportunities. Their ripple effects are boundless.
Louisa Moats, Ed. D.
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.
