Maryland administrators, download a PDF of Lexia LETRS: Lasting Literacy Professional Learning for Educators and Teachers.
Lexia® LETRS® provides tremendous literacy benefits to students and teachers of all backgrounds and walks of life. Just ask Principal Regina Teat, who implemented LETRS at two different schools years apart, and in both cases found it to be the most effective professional literacy learning tool.
First at Hurlock Elementary in Dorchester County, the 2004 implementation of LETRS brought with it comprehensive professional learning and support for educators who teach reading. LETRS is professional training for both new and veteran teachers. That is, anyone who teaches literacy but may not have learned the science behind how students learn to read.
LETRS co-author Dr. Carol Tolman (along with Dr. Louisa Moats) conducted summer training modules for the teachers at Hurlock. During the school year, Tolman would observe classrooms, give teachers one-on-one feedback, and discuss data about student progress.
This exposure and training helped to sharpen the educators’ ability to diagnose students who were struggling with reading and to understand how to provide intervention that leads to literacy success.
Then, at Choptank Elementary, another Title 1 school in the district, there was a rise in state assessment scores during the first two years with LETRS use.
