LETRS© Module 1: The Challenge of Learning to Read
This module explores the reasons why many students have reading difficulties and explains how children learn to read. Case studies illustrate the progression of reading development; the influences of biological, genetic, cognitive, environmental and instructional factors in learning to read; and the components of effective reading instruction. A “four-part processing system” model is explored in detail.

LETRS© Module 2: The Speech Sounds of English: Phonetics, Phonology and Phonetic Awareness
This module introduces phonemes (speech sounds) and discusses the importance of phonological awareness in reading and spelling instruction. Module 2 also discusses the features of consonants and vowels and covers some of the problems that children who speak other languages or dialects may have when learning English.

LETRS© Module 3: Spellography for Teachers: How English Spelling Works
This module explores the structure and history of English spelling from several angles: phoneme-grapheme correspondences, letter patterns within words, syllables, meaningful word parts (morphemes), and historical layers in the orthography. The module addresses differences between syllables and morphemes, between irregular and high-frequency words, and among six syllable types.
