[Testimonial] “LETRS is the Gold Standard”

“Where we are now with Lexia LETRS has positioned us very nicely for the work that's ahead of us as a state. There's work we'll be doing as a district to be in compliance with the early literacy legislation and dyslexia legislation in the state of Georgia, and it's just created great momentum for our school district.” - Dr. Ashley Kennedy, Director of Instruction and Innovative Practice at Cobb County School District, Marietta, Georgia

In this testimonial video, Dr. Kennedy discusses how Lexia® LETRS® professional learning has elevated literacy instruction across her district. She highlights how training teachers in research-based, evidence-backed practices through the science of reading has increased teacher confidence and improved instructional decision-making. With LETRS, teachers are better equipped to identify students’ specific literacy gaps and provide targeted interventions that make a real difference in student outcomes.

Dr. Kennedy emphasizes the impact LETRS has had, not only on teachers' knowledge but also on district leadership. District leaders have used LETRS to refine strategic plans and enhance professional learning communities (PLCs), fostering a more cohesive and effective instructional framework. For teachers, Dr. Kennedy shares that LETRS's unique "Bridge to Practice" has been a game-changer, giving teachers the tools to apply their learning directly in the classroom which is “so critical to truly changing your instructional practices.”

This video is a must-watch for district and school administrators seeking a proven approach to improving literacy outcomes. See how LETRS professional learning for both teachers and administrators is positioning Cobb County for literacy success.
