This course is based on the LETRS® (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and
Spelling) professional development that helps “teachers understand the what, why, and how of
literacy instruction.”
The LETRS Volume 2,Language Comprehension training units address each essential component of
reading instruction and the foundational concepts that links these components. Units 5 - 8 focus
specifically on oral language and vocabulary, understanding reading comprehension, text-driven
comprehension instruction and the reading-writing connection.

Note:
All participants, including those registering as "Participant Only," should plan to complete all of the
work required (attendance, participation and assignments) to receive the full benefit of the training
and a certificate of completion.
