Brief explanation of professional learning experience: LETRS is a professional course of study that helps educators master the content and principles of effective reading, language, and literacy instruction. This research-based course focuses on preparing teachers with the essential skills for diagnosing reading issues, prescription of evidence-based strategies and assessment of the effectiveness of the instruction provided to support all students. The LETRS course has recently earned accreditation from the International Dyslexia Association as the coursework is designed to promote candidate mastery of the principles and practices of Structured Literacy. March 2021 Recommendation: While this training meets the Right to Read Act requirements for all educators needing to meet proficiency requirements, the following recommendations are offered for consideration Classroom Educators Recommended Specialists, Tier II and Tier III Instructors This training builds knowledge that is most applicable to Tier I educators integrating this knowledge in their classrooms. It includes some targeted application activities; however, interventionists may also consider an approved training with a full, guided practicum (e.g., IMSE, Neuhaus, URI, RIC, and Linda Atamian's Orton-Gillingham Training). These trainings allow for a greater in-depth understanding of Structured Literacy instruction that can be tailored to a student's unique intervention needs often needed within Tier 2 and 3 interventions. Additionally, the practicum will afford the participant to apply their knowledge directly with a student and receive personalized instructor feedback.
