LETRS 3rd Edition CPE Course

You’ve certainly heard about LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling). LETRS is high-quality professional development targeting elementary language arts teachers and special education teachers of any grade.

Based on the undeniable science of reading, the newest edition of LETRS has been updated to be much more interactive with online learning modules to accompany live, face-to-face trainings.

What’s the same as LETRS 2nd Edition?

High-quality PD is delivered by certified LETRS trainers.
Content includes up-to-date information about the science of reading for all teachers.
Topics include teaching and assessing: phonology, orthography, morphology, comprehension, and writing.

What’s different?

Content from all modules is woven into a format similar to a 4-semester graduate-level course.
The course is offered in a flexible hybrid format with new, revised materials and an engaging online interface.
Interaction with instructors takes place at scheduled intervals and is informed by participants’ performance on the online checks for understanding.
Required bridge-to-practice activities are strategically placed throughout to give participants opportunities to apply their new understandings with their students.

CPE credits, offered by IUs in Pennsylvania, can be used towards Instructional II certification, Masters Equivalency, and Act 48 requirements.
