Success Stories
What North Carolina educators are saying about LETRS
“Excellent! Full of practical ideas to use tomorrow in my classroom!! Lots of deep thinking about my practice and how I can go deeper with students.”
What is LETRS?
Developed by Dr. Louisa Moats and leaders in the field of literacy, LETRS teaches the skills needed to master the foundation and fundamentals of reading and writing instruction—phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and written language.
LETRS professional learning for elementary educators is an investment in teachers’ literacy knowledge and professional practice. Teachers gain essential knowledge to master the fundamentals of literacy instruction required to transform student learning.
LETRS for Early Childhood Educators professional learning provides deep knowledge of literacy instruction for the youngest learners. The more children know about language and literacy before they begin kindergarten and first grade, the better equipped they are to succeed in literacy learning and beyond.
LETRS for Administrators equips instructional leaders to create systems and structures in their schools and districts to achieve high levels of academic performance and growth in literacy.

LETRS gives our teachers the tools they need to ensure that the instructional decisions made each day are intentional, based on student need, and grounded in the science of reading. Teaching reading is complex, yet our educators and leaders are prepared to meet that challenge because they will be equipped with evidence-based practices that improve reading outcomes for every student.
Shawn Johnson
In preparation for LETRS in 2019, Wake adjusted our K-2 curriculum to reflect alignment to the science of reading. More specifically, we helped our teachers make connections between specific phonics foundational skills and the integration of decodable texts. Our goal is to ensure that appropriate instructional time and resources lead to all students successfully reading on grade level by the end of third grade.
Emily Dellinger
The science of reading through LETRS training has transformed the reading program at Freedom Trail Elementary. We began SoR implementation last year and have seen tremendous growth in our students' ability to read and comprehend. Our teachers are more confident in their abilities and see firsthand the results of LETRS training and the SoR implementation. The Reading Rope has come to life at Freedom Trail—it has been a game changer for our children and community.
