[Testimonial] Moving the Literacy Needle: District Transformation With LETRS Professional Learning

Many school district leaders across the country are realizing their current literacy curriculum may not be comprehensive enough to meet the needs of all learners. As student reading scores stagnate or decline, district leaders are seeking more effective, evidence-based solutions to empower educators and drive real improvement in literacy outcomes.

In response to teacher demand for more impactful professional learning opportunities, one district transitioned from a balanced literacy approach to one grounded in the science of reading. To support this shift, they implemented Lexia® LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), a professional learning program designed to build educator knowledge of foundational literacy and reading instruction.

LETRS equips teachers with the tools and research-backed strategies needed to deliver effective instruction to all students, including those who struggle with reading. At the same time, Lexia® LETRS® for Administrators helps district and school leaders create sustainable systems of support, ensuring consistency and instructional alignment across schools.

This dual approach empowers both educators and administrators to transform literacy instruction and build a legacy of academic success. With LETRS, district leaders can better support teachers, strengthen their curriculum, and take meaningful steps toward closing literacy gaps and boosting reading proficiency at scale.
