T&L 2900: RRVEC LETRS 1 Spring 2025 Cohort

LETRS Volume 1, which includes Units 1-4, focuses on foundational reading skills and the challenges of learning to read. It delves into the connection between language and literacy, what the brain does during reading, and how children learn to read and spell. Unit 1, "The Challenge of Learning to Read," specifically explores why reading is difficult and how the brain processes information.

  • Unit 2: The Speech Sounds of English: This unit focuses on phonological awareness, the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds of language, which is crucial for early literacy development.
  • Unit 3: The Alphabet and Words: This unit delves into phonics, the relationship between sounds and letters, and how children learn to decode and encode words.
  • Unit 4: The Fluency and Comprehension: This unit covers the importance of fluent reading and how to develop reading comprehension skills.
