Better Teachers, Better Readers: 10 Reasons to Combine LETRS and Core5

The combination of Lexia® LETRS® professional learning and Lexia® Core5® Reading offers a powerful approach to improving literacy instruction. LETRS equips teachers with critical training often missing from higher-education courses, helping them use Core5 more effectively with code-based, explicit instruction. This alignment ensures teachers can deliver more precise and impactful lessons, leading to higher student reading proficiency.

LETRS also provides ongoing coaching and peer support, boosting teacher confidence and fostering professional growth. The program deepens teachers' understanding of language structure, phoneme awareness, and phonics, which are essential for successful reading and writing instruction. LETRS addresses gaps in educators' knowledge, ensuring they have a comprehensive understanding of the science of reading.

The program’s two-year course of study offers a thorough exploration of literacy instruction, allowing teachers to master these skills and apply them effectively in the classroom. As a result, students achieve better outcomes, with fewer reading difficulties and higher overall achievement.

Studies show that students using Core5 with a LETRS-trained teacher score higher in reading proficiency, meet usage recommendations more consistently, and benefit from more precise instructional practices. Together, LETRS and Core5 create a powerful effect that transforms literacy instruction and improves both student and teacher success. Download your copy of the checklist.
