Posted on March 25, 2025

The first group of P-H-M teachers to complete LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) professional development were recognized at the P-H-M Board of School Trustees meeting held on Monday, March 24.

The Science of Reading Training is required by the state. Early Literacy Endorsement is now part of a teacher’s license renewal process. The training takes 80 hours to complete. In all 287 P-H-M teachers signed up for the training, and so far 112 have completed the LETRS training.
