Play-Based Learning With Lexia LETRS for Early Childhood Educators

Walking into an early childhood classroom, you might not see students explicitly practicing reading. However, the early childhood classroom and the play that happens within it are an important and valuable part of literacy development. 

During early childhood, every block tower, pretend picnic, or game of “I Spy” is more than play. It’s a foundation for literacy and lifelong learning. Ensuring early childhood educators understand how this important play ties to the foundations of literacy is vital. 

With Lexia® LETRS® for Early Childhood Educators, teachers gain the knowledge and strategies to transform play into powerful opportunities for growth, setting their students up for future success when they reach hands-on literacy learning in elementary school and beyond.

Play-based learning helps children develop self-regulation, expand vocabulary, and build early literacy skills in ways that feel natural and engaging.

The benefits extend beyond literacy. When teachers integrate playful instruction with intentional scaffolding, children grow cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically. They are more motivated, more confident, and better prepared for the transition to formal schooling.

With LETRS for Early Childhood Educators, teachers don’t just “cover skills.” They cultivate curiosity and create a shared culture of literacy.
