What is LETRS?
LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) is comprehensive professional learning designed to provide elementary educators and administrators with deep knowledge to be literacy and language experts in the science of reading. 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.

We believe every educator desires great success for their students. By providing this high-quality, evidence-based professional learning for our K, 1, 2, 3 teachers, coaches, psychologists, and principals, we can have an enormously positive impact on our youngest learners.
Louisa Moats, Ed.D.
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.
