“LETRS has impacted our district in the best of ways! Every teacher in our elementary schools has completed the LETRS coursework, and it has been one of the most impactful, beneficial professional development opportunities we've received. I see teachers using literacy research-based best practices every day. Thanks, WDE and LETRS, for providing this valuable training to our teachers!”
Amy Bell, Principal
“LETRS...has allowed me to rethink how I approach literacy with my upper elementary students. The foundation that LETRS laid for me has given me so many more avenues of instruction for my struggling and proficient readers alike! I am a better, more informed teacher because of the knowledge LETRS provided for me. All teachers, new and veteran, can benefit from LETRS training!”
Danielle Parker, Teacher
“The LETRS program has transformed my phonics instruction in the classroom, as well as changed my understanding of learning to read. It has provided me with strategies and resources to effectively teach reading and phonics skills to students of difference ages and abilities. LETRS has increased my confidence in teaching reading which in turn helps me prepare my students for their futures as readers.”
Ashley Fullmer, Teacher
“LETRS has changed my teaching life and brought back my love for it. Programs and curriculum change, but the vast knowledge I have gained will not. LETRS has helped me to better distinguish what my students are lacking and how to scaffold their learning.”
Jennifer Platt, Teacher
“Engaging in the LETRS learning was the catalyst of change in my classroom and my school. I believe in LETRS learning so much that when I was asked by my principal and superintendent to become a Local LETRS Facilitator, I couldn't pass up the chance to bring that learning to other educators in my district."
Beth Correa, Intervention Teacher
