Lexia® LETRS for Michigan

Professional Learning–Grades K-5

As part of Public Act 144 of 2022, the Michigan Department of Education is providing sustained and job-embedded professional learning about the science of reading. This opportunity is being provided at no cost to educators in Michigan through the Lexia LETRS® Suite of professional learning.

Michigan’s implementation reaches all pre-K–6 and pre-K–12 SPED-endorsed teachers and administrators across the four cohorts. More than 4,000 educators are actively engaged in learning asynchronously and in live facilitated sessions. Of those participants, more than 97% of respondents reported the professional learning session enhanced their ability to use research-based practices in their roles.
