Alabama LETRS Literacy Symposium
Thank you for your interest in the Alabama LETRS® Symposium, a premier professional development event about the latest research concerning the science of reading and how the Alabama LETRS professional learning experience is helping to fine tune the challenging work of teaching literacy.

On June 27—29, 2021, at The Lodge at Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, AL, educators are invited to network and collaborate with their colleagues about the science of reading, the requirements of the Alabama Literacy Act, and a variety of topics that impact student literacy success.

In addition to keynote presentations by Drs. Moats and Hart Paulson, the symposium program will include breakout sessions about:
