Empowering Oklahoma educators to improve student literacy through evidence-based professional learning
Funded through the American Recovery Plan, the Science of Reading Academies are available at no cost to all educators who work in Oklahoma public schools, with a focus on those who work with students in kindergarten through third grade. The Oklahoma Science of Reading Academies provides a sustained and job-embedded science of reading professional development opportunity statewide to support evidence-based reading instruction, improve grade-level reading proficiency, and close achievement gaps across the state.
Through this course of study, educators develop evidence-based foundational knowledge and skills to deliver explicit instruction that positively affects systematic change in literacy outcomes. These impactful courses are based on Lexia® LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), Lexia® LETRS® for Early Childhood Educators, and Lexia® LETRS® for Administrators.
Educators are encouraged to complete LETRS coursework and begin embedding science of reading strategies into their daily instruction.

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 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.

Continuing the LETRS professional development initiative through the Oklahoma Science of Reading Academies is crucial for sustaining and expanding our impact on literacy education. By equipping educators with evidence-based strategies grounded in neuroscience, we empower them to nurture essential reading and writing skills in thousands of children.
Louisa Moats
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.
