Turning Knowledge Into Student Success

Your team has completed LETRS®—now what?

Completing LETRS® training is a powerful first step toward improving reading instruction—but real transformation happens when those research-based practices are brought to life in classrooms every day. That’s where Progression Partners comes in. At Progression Partners, we specialize in bridging the gap between professional development and classroom implementation. Too often, powerful training like LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) equips educators with essential knowledge, but teachers are left wondering:

  • Where do I begin?
  • How do I fit these strategies into my existing curriculum?
  • Am I using them with fidelity?
  • What about students who still struggle, my multilingual learners, or those with special needs?

These lingering questions can create hesitation and inconsistency in practice. That’s why our Beyond LETRS training and support services are designed to walk alongside educators—helping them prioritize what matters most, apply strategies step by step, and confidently adapt LETRS practices to meet the needs of every learner. With our support, teachers don’t just learn the science of reading—they live it, apply it, and see measurable results with their students.

We offer high-impact, equity-centered follow-up support to help schools and teachers move from professional learning to instructional excellence. Our Science of Reading Equity Services are designed to build educator confidence and consistency through job-embedded coaching, live lesson modeling, collaborative planning sessions, and leadership development.

Whether your goal is to strengthen Tier 1 instruction, support struggling learners, or build lasting internal capacity, our team partners with you to ensure that LETRS-aligned practices are implemented with fidelity—and equity remains at the core of your literacy work.

From Training to Transformation

LETRS provides the foundation, but transformation happens when teachers can confidently connect theory to practice. We guide educators through that critical next step—taking what they’ve learned in workshops and turning it into daily habits that strengthen instruction, engage students, and accelerate literacy outcomes.

Bridging the Knowing–Doing Gap

Knowledge alone isn’t enough. Teachers need ongoing support, real-time feedback, and models of what successful implementation looks like in action. Our coaching and classroom support bridge this gap by meeting teachers where they are—whether it’s a grade-level team planning lesson routines, an individual teacher practicing phonics strategies, or a whole group aligning their approach to reading instruction. We walk alongside educators so that LETRS doesn’t remain an abstract concept but becomes a living, breathing part of every classroom.

Our Literacy Implementation Services Include:

  • Classroom-based coaching & model lessons
  • Collaborative lesson and unit planning
  • Data-informed instructional support
  • Administrator and coach capacity-building
  • Custom PD aligned to LETRS content and Science of Reading research
  • Support for multilingual learners and struggling readers

Who We Serve
K–12 teachers, instructional coaches, literacy leads, interventionists, building and district leaders

With Progression Partners, districts gain more than a service provider—they gain a true partner in ensuring that LETRS training translates into confident teachers, stronger instruction, and thriving readers.

Aligned With Your Goals, Tailored to Your Teachers

Every district has its own vision for literacy, and every teacher brings unique strengths and challenges to the classroom. That’s why Progression Partners never takes a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we listen first—learning your district’s priorities, curriculum, and assessment systems—then design Beyond LETRS support that aligns seamlessly with your goals.

For teachers, this means coaching and training that speaks directly to their reality: the grade they teach, the learners they serve, and the questions they’re still grappling with after LETRS. For leaders, it means confidence that implementation is consistent across classrooms while still responsive to the diverse needs of your educators.

Whether it’s whole-group refreshers, grade-level team planning, or individualized coaching, we adapt our approach so teachers get what they need most—and students benefit from instruction that’s not only research-based, but also responsive, relevant, and sustainable.
