All Teachers Are Language Teachers: Empowering Educators for Literacy Equity

Literacy is the foundation of academic success, and every educator plays a role in supporting language development. With Structured Literacy and the science of reading, school leaders can empower teachers to integrate effective literacy instruction across all subjects.

Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning and Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning provide the knowledge and tools educators need to embed language instruction into daily teaching. LETRS equips early-grade teachers with research-backed strategies to build foundational literacy skills, while Aspire supports upper-grade educators in strengthening adolescent literacy. Together, they create a unified approach to literacy instruction, ensuring students transition from learning to read to reading to learn.

These programs offer administrators a strategic path to closing opportunity gaps, fostering inclusive literacy cultures, and driving systemic change. By implementing LETRS and Aspire, schools can dismantle deficit-based thinking, cultivate asset-based mindsets, and provide equitable learning opportunities for all students—including multilingual learners.

The impact is clear. Schools using LETRS and Aspire report improved teacher confidence, enhanced instructional quality, and measurable gains in student literacy outcomes. Administrators can lead meaningful change by equipping teachers with evidence-based professional learning that transforms classroom practices and drives student success.

It’s time to make literacy equity a reality. By prioritizing comprehensive, research-driven professional learning, school leaders can create linguistically rich, inclusive environments where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
