Lexia LETRS® stands for: Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling.

LETRS for Early Childhood Educators is a professional learning experience for pre-K and Kindergarten teachers that provides deep knowledge of early literacy instruction. Teachers gain new skills to help young learners build a literacy foundation before they even learn to read or write.

This professional learning experience:

  • Helps teachers understand the development of oral language, print knowledge, alphabet learning, and writing skills.

  • Provides the “why” and “how” of early literacy instruction across all domains: language, literacy, cognitive, motor, social, and emotional.

It also empowers teachers to apply best practice strategies to guide children’s learning.
