LETRS - Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling

LETRS addresses the structures of English language, the cognitive processes of learning to read, and the teaching practices proven to be most effective in preventing and remediating reading difficulties, including dyslexia.

The LETRS course includes eight units of study, typically completed across two years.  Each unit commences with a full-day workshop delivered via an online learning platform.  Registration is for the first 4 units only and includes all materials and 4 full-day workshops across one year.

Participants then complete the online sessions in their own time.  Each unit comprises six to eight online sessions, taking approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete.
