Description
The LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) Suite offers a comprehensive learning experience designed to equip educators and administrators with an in-depth understanding of literacy and language, making them proficient in the science of reading. Created by esteemed literacy authorities Dr. Louisa Moats, Dr. Carol Tolman, and Dr. Lucy Hart Paulson, this program serves as a versatile professional development resource tailored for educators and leaders alike. LETRS focuses on imparting essential skills necessary for mastering key aspects of reading instruction, which include phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and language proficiency. Studies indicate that while only 35% of students currently demonstrate reading proficiency, an impressive 95% have the potential to learn to read successfully. Furthermore, it is crucial to recognize that teachers play a pivotal role in student achievement; however, approximately half of the institutions responsible for teacher training do not adequately prepare them for effective literacy instruction. A profound comprehension of the underlying processes and scientific principles associated with teaching reading is essential for educators to foster literacy effectively. Therefore, enhancing teacher training in these areas is vital for improving overall student literacy outcomes.
Description
Integrating context and relevance into any English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum is crucial for effective literacy instruction. To foster genuine engagement, it is essential to introduce topics that resonate with students, simultaneously enhancing their background knowledge and vocabulary in order to cultivate active and involved readers. The notion that student engagement and standards-aligned ELA instruction are incompatible is a misconception; in fact, they can complement one another seamlessly. By designing captivating ELA lessons that consistently incorporate authentic, leveled content aligned with standards, educators can spark students' curiosity. With access to over 10,000 texts spanning more than 20 genres, learners can delve deeply into a wide array of subjects, ensuring they encounter the intricate texts that await them both in academic settings and beyond. Each text is accompanied by a quiz tailored to ELA standards, focusing on either informational reading or literature, allowing teachers to hone in on the unique skill development needs of each student while fostering a love for reading. This approach not only enriches the learning experience but also prepares students for the diverse reading challenges they will face in the future.
