LETRS professional learning for invited Utah K

Empowering Utah K–3 educators and administrators to improve student literacy through evidence-based professional learning

As part of S.B. 127 of 2022, the Utah State Board of Education provided sustained and job-embedded science of reading professional development to support evidence-based reading instruction, improve grade-level reading proficiency, and close achievement gaps across the state. This training was offered at no cost to invited K–3 educators.

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 Administrators, and Lexia® LETRS® for Early Childhood Educators.

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.
