Science of Reading: Strategies and Tools for Teachers

Learn more about the course

Better training for better reading instruction

Teachers want to give struggling readers the strongest support possible, using methods grounded in the Science of Reading and structured literacy. Yet much professional development is long, abstract, and disconnected from what happens in real classrooms, even as states and districts place more emphasis on literacy approaches aligned with this research.

The Lexercise Science of Reading Course for teachers is:

Rooted in the Science of Reading and structured literacy
Focused on classroom application, not just theory
Included with Lexercise for Schools, at no extra cost

Teachers learn science-backed reading instruction methods and how to support students who are behind, using tools they can apply immediately in their classrooms.

Self-paced, practical professional learning

Our course gives K–12 educators a clear, accessible foundation in how reading develops and how to teach it effectively, grounded in Science of Reading principles.

Audience: K–12 classroom teachers, specialists, and support staff.
Focus: Science of Reading, structured literacy, and application to real classrooms.
Format: Online, self-paced modules with short lessons, reflection prompts, and understanding checkpoints. Over twelve hours of instruction.
