Take Literacy to the Next Level With Lexia LETRS and Lexia Aspire Professional Learning

Implementing Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) signals your district’s strong commitment to high-quality, research-based literacy instruction. 

Designed for educators of students in grades pre–K–5, LETRS equips Michigan teachers and administrators with deep expertise in the science of reading. It focuses on foundational literacy skills such as phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and written language.

To extend the benefits of the science of reading beyond the early grades, Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning is recommended for educators in grades 4–8. Aspire supports teachers across all disciplines, providing best practices to address the evolving literacy needs of upper-elementary and middle school students.

Together, LETRS and Aspire form a comprehensive professional development pathway—from “learning to read” in the early grades to “reading to learn” in later years. Both programs emphasize evidence-based strategies tailored to grade-specific needs and offer educators the tools to improve literacy outcomes systemwide.

By implementing LETRS for grades pre-K–5 and Aspire for grades 4–8, district leaders ensure all educators—from early childhood to middle school—are empowered with the knowledge and instructional techniques necessary to develop skilled, confident readers at every stage of their academic journey.
