Empowering Utah K–3 educators and administrators to improve student literacy through evidence-based professional learning
As part of S.B. 127 of 2022, the Utah State Board of Education provided sustained and job-embedded science of reading professional development to support evidence-based reading instruction, improve grade-level reading proficiency, and close achievement gaps across the state. This training was offered at no cost to invited K–3 educators.
Through this course of study, educators develop evidence-based foundational knowledge and skills to deliver explicit instruction that positively affects systematic change in literacy outcomes. These impactful courses are based on Lexia® LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), Lexia® LETRS® for Administrators, and Lexia® LETRS® for Early Childhood Educators.
Who participated in Lexia LETRS?
- K–3 teachers and literacy coaches (from those LEAs invited across the state)
Who participated in LETRS for Administrators?

Success Stories
What Utah educators are saying about LETRS
"I loved my sessions experience! There were meaningful activities with lots of time for transferring what we were learning to real application."
What is LETRS?
LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) is comprehensive professional learning designed to provide elementary educators and administrators with deep knowledge to be literacy and language experts in the science of reading. 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.
“I was able to see improvement not only in my teaching, but in my students' growth. Two years in and I'm more invested in this and excited to continue to learn more. Thank you so much!!! It was exactly what I needed to stoke my "teacher fire" and keep me going.”
Louisa Moats, Ed.D.
Teachers are the most important factor in
student success. Informed teachers can
explain language to students, including
sounds, spellings, and word meanings
that might be confusing. They use lessons
based on reading science and understand
the process of learning to read and write.
Research proves it. Science matters.
