“Working through the LETRS program, I have learned so much. It has definitely had a very positive and beneficial impact on my teaching. My literacy instruction, especially foundational literacy and small group literacy instruction, has changed dramatically. I now know the importance of explicit and sequential phonics instruction which has definitely had an impact on my students.”
Michelle Adkins, Kindergarten Teacher
