Sustain the Science of Reading in North Carolina

Evidence-Based Solutions to Close Gaps

We are proud to partner with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to provide statewide Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning. Pre-K–5 educators completed their training by September 2024, so counties and schools are now tasked with sustaining its implementation.

When used together, the complete Lexia portfolio accelerates literacy gains in the classroom. Lexia offers:

Supplemental pre-K–12 literacy curricula aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study
A language acquisition program aligned with WIDA for grades K–6
Professional learning after LETRS, including science of reading training for upper elementary through high school educators

What our Users are Saying

“Since completing my training, I’ve become more connected with my students in utilizing reading passages, providing layered phonetic work by using hands-on resources that provide extensions into writing, and setting up explicit routines for the literacy block.”

Tanisha Newkirk, Kindergarten Teacher, Bertie County School, NC

What our Users are Saying

“I have seen a shift within our classrooms, instruction, and students that is evidence of powerful knowledge gained from LETRS and the science of reading. Our teachers are intentional and strategic in how they are choosing to teach our students.”
